St. James Nursing & Physical Rehabilitation Center

St. James Nursing & Physical Rehabilitation Center sits over in Eastpointe, Michigan, and folks sometimes call it St James Nursing Center, and you'll find skilled nursing and all kinds of rehab services, with rooms in different studio layouts and some private room options, so residents can have some choice about their space, and the community stays pretty full, running around a 96% occupancy rate most of the time, so there are usually plenty of people around. They offer care for all sorts of needs, with options like memory care, assisted living, nursing and rehab, respite care, hospice, and even short-term stays if someone just needs rehab after a hospital trip, and to do all that, they employ different kinds of staff, like doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dieticians, social workers, feeding assistants, pharmacists, and even therapists who can help with speech, occupational, physical, and even respiratory therapy. They've got medical services ranging from medication management, IV antibiotic therapy, wound care, and pain management, to dentistry, podiatry, mental health, nutritional counseling, and they even offer X-rays, lab work, and pharmacy services if you need them, and for folks who want some activities, the place has beauty services, social events, and recreational therapy, so life doesn't get too dull, and of course, there's nutritional management that tries to keep meals on track for different dietary needs. The St. James center accepts Medicare and Medicaid, while being a for-profit partnership, and as far as care quality goes, the facility has a 1-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and was flagged for abuse in the last year, which is something families might want to know about, though it still manages an average of 4.5 out of 10 from general reviews, placing it 41st in Detroit. Both a resident council and a family council give people a way to get involved in community decisions, and the website does give more information about available senior care options, but there isn't a CCRC here, even though they seem to try to offer a broad set of senior care services under one roof, and they do this under the broad umbrella of senior living, touching on nursing, rehab, respite, and various therapy services.
