What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 10, 2026 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Mar 30, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Aug 16, 2023 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Aug 29, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Michigan avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 4.45 | 4.32 | 3.95 | top 31% in Michigan; top 25% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.69 | 0.84 | 0.69 | bottom 40% in Michigan; top 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.87 | 3.79 | 3.50 | top 33% in Michigan; top 27% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.19 | 0.49 | 0.48 | bottom 8% in Michigan; bottom 10% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 63.1 | 44.1 | 45.8 | bottom 6% in Michigan; bottom 12% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 55.0 | 39.2 | 42.9 | bottom 21% in Michigan; bottom 28% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.11, RN 0.63, weekend 3.57. Staffing rating: 3/5.
Self-reported quality measures
