Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Michigan average: 8 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on April 17, 2025, identified deficiencies related to oxygen administration, medication regimen reviews, duplicate drug therapy, medication error rates, and hand hygiene. Earlier inspections showed similar concerns with medication management, including narcotic misappropriation by staff, incomplete incident investigations, and infection control issues. Inspectors cited problems with medication errors, infection prevention, and quality assurance processes, along with a substantiated case of resident sexual abuse and controlled substance diversion in prior reports. Complaint investigations were substantiated in several instances, particularly regarding medication errors and abuse, while enforcement actions such as staff termination were noted but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges with medication management and infection control, with no clear indication of sustained improvement over time.
