Corewell Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center - Commons Dearborn, found at 16391 Rotunda Dr in Dearborn's Springwells Park neighborhood, operates as a non-profit with 200 beds and offers a broad range of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and focused rehabilitation. Managed by Corewell Health since 2022, this facility is part of the Beaumont Commons campus and fits right into a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) with 29 acres of landscaped grounds, walking trails, and outdoor spaces where residents can spend time outside, join programs, and relax in gardens or on common patios. The community serves people after hospitalization or surgery, as well as those needing long-term care, and has specialized help available for Alzheimer's and dementia, with memory-enhancing activities and trained staff.
Residents can choose among apartment-style living units, and most rooms come furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, high-speed internet, and air conditioning, which makes things a bit more comfortable. The site has shared spaces like a dining room, small library, arts and crafts room, fitness and wellness centers, spa, game room, movie theater, and music and activity spaces, plus elevators. There's also access to laundry, housekeeping, and linen services, along with community-operated and arranged transportation, which can take people both to medical visits and out for errands or activities. For daily living, nursing care covers medication management, help with bathing and dressing, transfers, and 24-hour supervision with a call system in every unit. Residents get one or two meals a day in the dining hall, where the kitchen can adjust for special diets like diabetes or other needs with input from a professional chef.
The community organizes both staff-run and resident-run activities, encouraging people to take part in events, outings, and wellness programs. Services like concierge help, move-in coordination, and beauty salon visits are available, along with assistance for mental wellness and memory support. People have the chance to engage through scheduled daily activities and social events, so there's often something to look forward to. The campus aims to feel like home, with support for people needing everything from light assistance to full-time nursing or rehab care, and it welcomes residents of all backgrounds with protections for gender identity, orientation, and source of income.
However, while many amenities exist, the facility doesn't have a perfect track record. Recent inspection reports show 11 deficiencies in areas like resident rights, infection control, and nutrition. Deficiencies have included not honoring residents' dignity, not telling residents and families about situations quickly, and failing to meet some dietary standards, including where the food comes from and how it's stored, prepared, and served. Infection control has also been cited with two deficiencies, indicating there were lapses in reducing the spread of illnesses. Nurse turnover stands at 50.0%, which is higher than the Michigan average, and nurse staffing hours are lower than the state average, at 3.34 hours per resident per day.
Even with these issues, the center continues offering skilled nursing, rehab, and long-term care, along with programs designed to help people recover, improve independence, and feel part of an engaged community. The center features security, social connections, outdoor walks, and spaces to enjoy quiet time. The staff includes licensed nurses, aides, and therapy specialists. Residents benefit from varied choices-some need a lot of medical attention, others enjoy independent or assisted living, and some find help with memory care needs. The campus tries to create a respectful, comfortable atmosphere for people to age in place, with a mix of safety, healthcare, comfort, social life, and support.
