Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Michigan average: 8 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on September 4, 2025, identified deficiencies related to bed rail assist devices, including entrapment risks, missing physician orders, lack of staff training, and absent manufacturer guidelines. Earlier inspections, including the renewal on August 26, 2023, and the original licensing in 2015, found the facility to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies noted. The main issues have involved safety and documentation concerning resident care equipment. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The record shows a recent emergence of specific safety-related deficiencies after a long period of compliance.
