The Orchards Michigan - Wayne sits in a quiet area of Wayne, MI and takes both Medicare and Medicaid, with 179 certified beds and about 114 residents daily, and lets folks bring pets to live with them too, so seniors who love animals can keep a friend close by, and the facility belongs to a larger group called The Orchards Michigan that has different locations in and around the Detroit area like Armada, Redford, Roseville, and more, which helps with covering lots of care needs across Michigan. People find a wide range of living options here like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short-term rehab with both inpatient and outpatient services, which covers things if someone's getting discharged from a hospital and needs more help before going home, and there're therapies galore-physical, occupational, speech, wound care, respiratory, peritoneal dialysis, podiatry, mental health support, and nutrition counseling, plus activities like art classes, card games, and regular recreational therapy. There's also help with housekeeping, laundry, and medication management, all wrapped up with a restaurant-style dining setup and various transportation services for outings or medical appointments, and residents can join in exercise or community events while having access to emergency preparedness planning.
Even though the place says it wants to offer high levels of care and personal attention with compassionate staff and person-centered care, the staff numbers hover at the low end compared to state averages, delivering just 3.24 nurse hours per resident each day, which is less than the Michigan average of 4.0 hours, and staff turnover for nurses stands at a high 67.7%. The Orchards Michigan - Wayne provides 24/7 care, has a medical director that oversees on-the-go physician services, and tracks staff hours for registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, therapists, and doctors, but its rating for staffing and health outcomes is low from both CareWatch and CMS. Reports from state health inspections list 36 deficiencies in the last cycles, with some marked as severe, including a quality of life and care deficiency that caused an immediate safety risk, along with infection control issues and nutrition and dietary concerns affecting many residents; recent fines and complaints show the facility's ongoing challenges with inspection standards. The review sentiment from families and residents lands slightly above average, and the rate of abuse allegations is notably lower than most other places, but rates for pressure ulcer and urinary tract infection misreporting are higher than state and national averages.
The population here tends to have more complex care needs than average, and statistics show higher numbers of patients with cognitive impairment, speech-language comorbidities, acute neurological conditions, and low function scores; a bigger portion needs special care for things like septicemia, COPD, or pneumonia, and many require swallowing support or speech therapy help. On average, Medicare patients stay 25.3 days, and there's a higher than usual rehospitalization rate within 30 days after discharge as well as a raised post-discharge mortality rate. While the facility trains staff in safety and runs regular community outreach like tours, and keeps up with privacy, corporate compliance, HIPAA, and regulatory rules for assisted living staff, folks might want to look over health inspection reports and recent deficiencies to get the full picture. Senior living here covers homemaking, fitness, medication help, transportation, life enrichment activities, and social programs, and the Orchards Michigan - Wayne aims to make transitions smoother for new residents and their families, though it's best to review the current state reports and ratings if someone wants to understand possible issues with health outcomes and staffing levels. The owners are Isaac Gutman, Alexander Hoffman, Jacob Taub, and Robert Kornfeld, and the place runs for profit under company guidelines, offering both specialized care and basic daily help as part of a big network of facilities.
