Brookdale Farmington Hills North II
Overview of Brookdale Farmington Hills North II
At 27900 Drake Road in Farmington Hills, Oakland County, Brookdale Farmington Hills North II operates as a 32-bed memory care facility under the Brookdale Senior Living Communities umbrella. The property specializes in dementia care. Its programming centers on the Clare Bridge® program, a therapeutic approach to Alzheimer’s disease management, supplemented by EngagementPlus activities and daily engagement in gardening, piano, greenhouse work, and structured outings.
The inspection record raises serious concerns. Across 16 years of regulatory review, deficiencies totaled 15; substantially exceeding Michigan’s state average of 8. That disparity widened considerably in recent years.
January 2025’s renewal inspection documented 9 deficiencies across medication administration, resident protection, TB screening, food safety, and hazardous materials storage. Substantiated complaint investigations in 2024 identified late medication administration without proper documentation and a November 2024 incident where a resident identified as a known wanderer exited through a broken door with non-functional alarm systems and was discovered injured 2.5 miles away. An earlier 2022 investigation substantiated understaffing during that period.
The facility maintains a secured perimeter with keypad entry, on-site beauty services, library, courtyard gardens, and greenhouse programming. Pet policies are inclusive. Utilities are included. Respite care is available
Board-and-care costs start at $3,495 monthly.
Occupancy as of January 2025 stands at 22 percent of 32-bed capacity; a material decline from prior census levels.
The facility’s dementia-focused structure and Clare Bridge programming fit residents with Alzheimer’s and mid- to late-stage cognitive decline.
Given recent substantiated medication and resident protection findings, families should seek detailed information about corrective actions and current compliance status before placement.
