Serene Gardens of Hartland
Overview of Serene Gardens of Hartland
Serene Gardens of Hartland is a 79-bed assisted living community at 2799 Bella Vita Drive in Hartland, Livingston County, Michigan, operated by 2799 Bella Vita LLC. Originally licensed as Bella Vita of Hartland in August 2020, the facility underwent a name change in July 2023. Services include assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Walk score is 8, indicating car-dependent location.
Original licensing in August 2020 documented substantial compliance with zero deficiencies. Administrative review in February 2023 confirmed zero deficiencies and continued substantial compliance. This clean record extended through the July 2023 name change. But beginning January 2024, the picture changed materially.
A January 17, 2024, renewal inspection with 18 residents and 9 staff present identified 6 deficiencies: no supervisor of resident care was designated for each shift; medication administration records were incomplete; posted therapeutic diet menus did not reflect actual modifications served, meal census documentation failed to record food quantities served, and kitchen condiments lacked expiration dating or were outdated; and soiled linen room ventilation was inadequate.
Fourteen days later, on January 31, 2024, an investigation substantiated admission protocol failure: resident A was admitted without physician orders for prescribed medication, resulting in missed medication doses. Investigators found that Resident A did fall but staff responded appropriately, and no violation was established for the fall response itself.
By August 13, 2024, pattern became concrete. A complaint investigation documented that Resident A experienced 13 falls. The facility’s incident reporting system captured only 5 of those falls in written reports. Other complaint allegations regarding privacy breach and maintenance issues were unsubstantiated following investigation.
Administrator Megan Rheingans and Authorized Representative Daniela Popaj represent current leadership. Eight deficiencies over four years places the facility at 62 percent better than Michigan’s average of 5.2 per year.
Families should recognize that recent deficiencies, while the facility remains below state average overall, represent a meaningful shift from prior compliance.
