Overview of Union Court Assisted Living

Union Court St. Charles is an 86-bed nonprofit assisted living facility at 302 Fulton Street in St. Charles, Saginaw County, Michigan, operated by Baruch SLS, Inc. It provides supportive care, memory care, and respite services with 24-hour staffing. Amenities include housekeeping and laundry, ADL assistance, religious services, social and recreational activities, medication assistance, and care coordination with outside agencies. Residents receive three nutritious meals daily with snacks and special diet options.

The inspection record reveals documentation gaps and, more critically, substantiated failures in medical response and resident safety. Over 15 years since 2009, the facility accumulated 10 deficiencies at 0.6 annually, 20 percent above Michigan’s state average.

The May 2024 renewal inspection cited four deficiencies. One resident’s bedside assistive devices lacked physician orders and complete service plan documentation; two residents had medication administration records lacking essential behavioral and intervention details. Admission contracts for four residents incorrectly identified the licensee. Oxygen tanks were stored unsecured in resident rooms, creating injury risk.

Two substantiated complaint investigations in December 2022 documented serious clinical failures.

An investigation on December 16, 2022, substantiated that after Resident A experienced a stroke on the night of October 9 or early morning of October 10, 2022, multiple staff observed stroke-like symptoms but medical attention was delayed for several hours. The facility failed to complete and submit timely incident reports with required information.

An investigation on December 2, 2022, substantiated that Resident A had an unwitnessed fall with unexplained injuries. The facility failed to check alarms and assist with toileting every two hours as required. Hospital transfer was delayed, and the family contacted before a physician. Documentation shows the facility lacked an organized program ensuring resident protection.

An October 2023 administrative review found substantial regulatory compliance. No enforcement actions or fines are recorded. The license.

It is imperative to request clarification on current protocols for timely emergency response, resident alarm monitoring, incident reporting procedures and timeframes, medication administration oversight, and resident protection programs. Verify that all deficiencies cited in the May 2024 renewal inspection have been resolved and confirm oxygen storage safety procedures before making a placement decision.

Families should ask administrators directly about the specific corrective actions implemented following the two substantiated fall and stroke investigations in late 2022.

Ranked 268th of 437 Michigan communities by census, the facility occupies a car-dependent neighborhood (walk score 27, ranked 460th statewide). The community does not accept Medicare.

Operating hours are Monday-Friday 8am-9pm, Saturday 9am-5:30pm.

Deficiency rates place Brookdale 52 percent better than Michigan average across its 17-year record; 0.6 violations yearly versus state average of 2.7. Yet recent inspection findings reveal specific concern areas.

July 2025 documented incomplete kitchen sanitation records: dish machine water temperatures were not recorded daily, preventing verification of sanitization. April 2023 renewal identified medication administration gaps, incomplete staff training documentation, kitchen and dietary violations, and deferred building maintenance across multiple systems. September 2023 brought substantiated findings for inadequate resident supervision when a memory care resident successfully eloped from the secured unit. Deficiencies cluster consistently around kitchen operations, medication protocols, and memory care unit security oversight.

No fines or license restrictions documented.

Overview of Brentwood at Niles

In the heart of downtown Niles, at 1147 South Third Street, Brentwood at Niles operates an 80-bed facility serving assisted living and memory care residents. The Berrien County location places the community in a highly walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 85/100, ranked 15th statewide). Programming centers on life enrichment through organized outings to local restaurants, shopping trips, and outdoor activities, supplemented by hospice coordination and short-term respite options. The community operates Monday–Friday 9AM–5PM EST; Saturday–Sunday 10AM–2PM EST.

The inspection pattern raises persistent concerns. Over 11 years since 2015, deficiencies total 14, substantially exceeding Michigan’s state average.

The facility shows a troubling rhythm: in 2023, seven deficiencies were cited; in early 2024, inspectors found substantial compliance and zero violations; by April 2025, seven deficiencies reappeared, mirroring the prior year’s findings. The recurring violations cluster in infection control, food safety, hazmat storage, and tuberculosis screening documentation. April 2025’s renewal noted missing TB records, unlabeled food items across multiple kitchen areas, improperly stored chemicals accessible to residents, uncovered garbage containers, and inadequate sanitation documentation. Earlier inspections documented the same categories of non-compliance. The pattern suggests issues are identified and corrected between inspections, then re-emerge, which is a reactive rather than preventative compliance posture.

No fines, license actions, or immediate jeopardy findings are on record, and no complaint investigations have been initiated.

Occupancy has declined to 48 percent as of the April 2025 inspection.

Brentwood at Niles fits residents seeking assisted living with activity-based engagement or memory care structured around outings and community connection in a walkable downtown setting.
