Overview of Pomeroy Living Northville Assisted & Memory Care

Pomeroy Living Northville Assisted & Memory Care is a 109-bed community at 40033 West Eight Mile in Northville, Wayne County, Michigan, operating under Beacon Square Northville. The facility provides assisted living, memory care, outpatient rehabilitation, short-term rehabilitation and recovery, hospice and palliative care, and respite care. Administrator Sandra Salvati and Authorized Representative Manda Ayoub lead operations. Walk score is 83, very walkable and ranked 24th statewide.

The facility opened in 2016 with substantial compliance. The inspection record from 2016 was clean.

However, September 2023 identified four deficiencies with 21 residents on-site. Resident A’s tuberculosis screening chest x-ray was completed after move-in rather than prior to admission as required; resident B missed scheduled doses of Tramadol on August 18, August 30, and August 31 with no documented reason for non-administration; resident C did not receive prescribed Ketoconazole shampoo applications from September 2 through September 6 as ordered every other day. The menu posted in the dining room listed meals for a prior week instead of the current week.

The September 2024 complaint investigation reveals a more substantive gap. Resident A experienced four falls during his stay due to inadequate supervision. The facility used a tilt back wheelchair seat as a restraint method, which the investigation determined to be inappropriate. A resident in the facility’s care fell repeatedly while staff supervision was insufficient to prevent injury.

The pattern across both inspection periods centers on administrative and direct-care compliance. Medication administration documentation gaps, screening timing gaps, and prescribed care delivery gaps appeared in 2023. A substantiated supervision failure appeared in 2024. The facility has matched the Michigan average for deficiency rate over ten years, which means its performance is unremarkable in a statistical sense. Yet the specific content of those deficiencies involves core care functions. For residents requiring close oversight or those with fall risk, the supervision failure documented in September 2024 is material.

Families should ask about the progression from clean compliance, to recent deficiencies in medication administration and substantiated supervision failure leading to resident falls.

Overview of Union Court Assisted Living of Chesaning

Union Court of Chesaning is a 62-bed nonprofit assisted living facility at 244 Elwyn Drive in Chesaning, Saginaw County, Michigan, operated by Baruch SLS, Inc. It provides supportive care, memory care, and respite services with 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation options including short-term rehabilitation. Seven amenities include housekeeping and laundry, ADL assistance, religious services, social and recreational activities, medication assistance, and care coordination with outside agencies. Residents receive three daily meals with snacks and special diets.

Regulatory performance substantially exceeds state averages. Over six years since 2018, the facility accumulated six deficiencies at 0.8 annually, 20 percent below Michigan’s average of 1 per year.

Recent inspection history shows variable compliance. The May 2024 renewal inspection cited four deficiencies, a significant departure from the prior year. Resident A’s medication administration record lacked essential behavioral detail and documentation of nonpharmaceutical anxiety interventions; admission contracts for four residents incorrectly identified the facility licensee, rendering them invalid. Memory care unit cleaning products were accessible rather than stored securely, creating hazard for residents with cognitive impairment; oxygen tanks placed unsecured in resident rooms posed potential injury risk.

This inspection followed a June 2023 administrative review that found substantial regulatory compliance and resulted in license renewal. The original January 2018 licensing study similarly found substantial compliance. The contrast between the clean 2023 review and the four deficiencies identified in 2024 suggests either deterioration in compliance management or increased inspection scrutiny; the available record does not clarify which. Documentation errors and safety storage lapses indicate lapses in operational oversight rather than acute crises, but they represent genuine regulatory violations.

No complaint investigations or enforcement actions are recorded. The license.

If possible, request clarification on corrective actions taken, current medication documentation procedures ensuring behavioral and intervention detail, processes for maintaining valid admission contracts with current licensee information, and current safety protocols for hazardous materials storage in the memory care unit. Likewise, verify storage security procedures for oxygen tanks and medical supplies before making a placement decision.

Families should ask administrators directly about the four deficiencies identified in the May 2024 inspection, particularly the contrasting finding from June 2023.
