Fenton Healthcare Center

Fenton Healthcare Center sits in Lake Fenton, Michigan, and offers long-term care, skilled nursing, assisted living, and specialized memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and though the facility says it's warm and home-like, older folks might notice that inspection reports show 29 separate deficiencies, including some serious issues like failing to protect residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and proper infection control as well as pressure ulcer care, so the facts do show there's work to be done. The center has 92 certified beds and is managed by Ciena Healthcare Management Inc., with full ownership by Mohammad Qazi since June 2018, and it's part of a larger network under Ciena Healthcare and Laurel Health Care. Residents receive around 3.5 nursing hours a day, which is less than the state average, but the nurse turnover rate is better than most at 34.4% compared to 46.9% statewide, and there are licensed nurses covering care 24 hours a day. The campus has modern amenities - furnished private rooms, elevators, laundry, housekeeping, restaurant-style dining, a residents' lounge, emergency call systems, and access to on-site dialysis and subacute rehab. The staff help with medication management, personal care, rehab therapies (physical, occupational, and speech), and offer help for people needing palliative and hospice services. With professional caregivers, a state-of-the-art setting, and a focus on a friendly environment, the facility tries to give residents healthy meals, thoughtful care plans, and some independence. However, anyone considering a move here should look closely at recent inspection and complaint reports, including those about infection control and quality of life, to make sure this community meets their needs and expectations.
