Overview of Evergreen Health & Rehabilitation Center

Based in Southfield’s Beverly Hills neighborhood at 19933 West 13 Mile Road, Evergreen Health & Rehabilitation Center operates as a 172-bed skilled nursing facility owned and managed by Prince Equities LLC. The community specializes in memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and hospice services, with 24-hour nursing coverage and a focus on short-term rehabilitation stays.

Current residents number 141 in total, and comprise 30.5% Medicare-funded patients, 26.2% Medicaid-funded residents, and 43.3% private-pay admissions, with an average length of stay of 41 days. Occupancy of 87.8% places the facility well above Michigan’s state average and signals strong local demand for its beds.

A two-star CMS overall rating reflects significant regulatory performance gaps. Health inspection scores fall 70% below Michigan state averages, and nursing staffing runs 40.5% below state norms at 3 hours 36 minutes per resident per day.

Between 2023 and 2025, the facility underwent 13 inspections, accumulating 72 deficiencies, 800% higher than the state average; across 65 total citations. Serious violations included repeated failures in care coordination, medication administration, wound management, infection control, and food safety protocols. Seven serious citations and zero critical violations were recorded.

Two federal civil money penalties totaling $71,000 ($42,000 in June 2023; $29,000 in March 2024) were imposed for regulatory noncompliance.

The inspection report summary flags ongoing challenges in timely assessments, proper medication management, delayed hospital transfers, and failures in resident abuse reporting, with no clear evidence of sustained improvement.

Long-stay residents show strong performance in fall prevention (0.7%, 78% better than state), pressure ulcer rates (3.4%, 41% better), and weight management (1.6%, 71% better), with vaccination coverage at 99.7–100%. Physical therapy hours, delivered at 200% above the state average, support intensive rehabilitation. Short-stay Medicare rehabilitation residents, however, experience re-hospitalization rates of 28.7%, exceeding state benchmarks by 19%.

The facility operates primarily as a short-term rehabilitation center for Medicare and private-pay residents across Oakland County.
