    Pleasant home but unsafe, neglectful

    I lived at this six-resident home and liked the home-like feel, large living room, TV, games/puzzles and customizable rooms - a few staff were pleasant. But I experienced serious problems: doors propped open, residents wandering unsupervised, ignored call buttons, inadequate/poorly served meals, staff intimidation and bullying, and staff entering rooms and removing personal items. I reported violations to the Attorney General and DHHS. I do not recommend this facility - there are better places with truly outstanding staff.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed but leans toward serious concern due to significant safety, staffing, and regulatory complaints. Positive comments emphasize a small, home-like environment with certain amenities and some staff members who provide excellent service. Negative comments, however, document repeated and specific problems that affect resident safety and dignity, leading some reviewers to classify the facility as unacceptable.

    Care quality and resident safety: Several reviews raise major safety-related issues. Specific incidents reported include unsupervised wandering by residents, a door being propped open (explicitly described as a safety issue), and an inability for residents to call for assistance because call buttons were either not answered or otherwise unavailable. These are not isolated minor complaints — failure to respond to call buttons and unsupervised wandering are core care and supervision failures that directly affect resident well-being. The presence of regulatory complaints filed with the Attorney General and the Department of Health and Human Services reinforces that these concerns have been escalated beyond anecdotal reviewer frustration.

    Staff behavior and management: Staff comments are strongly mixed. Some reviewers specifically praise staff, calling them outstanding and noting excellent service. Conversely, other reviews describe staff who intimidate, bully, lack empathy, and even enter residents' rooms and remove personal property. This divergence suggests inconsistent staff behavior across shifts or among individual employees. The reports of intimidation, bullying, and removal of personal property are especially serious as they indicate potential violations of resident rights and privacy. The combination of praised employees and severe negative allegations points to unstable management oversight or inconsistent enforcement of standards.

    Facilities, activities, and dining: The facility appears to be small (noted as six residents), which many reviewers saw as a positive contributing to a home-like atmosphere. Common amenities mentioned include a large living area, a television, customizable rooms, and the availability of games and puzzles. However, activity engagement is described as limited by at least one reviewer (“not extremely engaging”), suggesting programming may be minimal. Dining feedback is also mixed to negative: while meals are described as regular/served consistently, other reviewers report inadequate meals and poor hygiene during meal times. Those dining concerns combined with the safety and staffing issues raise questions about daily operational quality.

    Regulatory and reputational concerns: Multiple reviewers reported having filed complaints with official agencies (Attorney General and Department of Health and Human Services). That, together with statements like “not recommended” and “worst facility,” indicates that some families or observers view the facility as failing on critical fronts. These regulatory reports are a red flag that should be taken seriously when evaluating overall quality and safety.

    Conclusion and pattern summary: In summary, reviewers consistently note a small, home-like facility with certain physical comforts (large communal space, TV, customizable rooms) and some staff who provide excellent care. However, the recurring and substantial negatives — unsupervised wandering, unanswered call buttons, security issues (door propped open), inadequate meals and hygiene, staff bullying and unauthorized removal of belongings, and formal complaints to oversight agencies — are significant. The pattern is one of inconsistency: some aspects and some employees are praised, but there are frequent, severe allegations that point to systemic problems in supervision, resident safety, and management. Based purely on the review content, the positives do not eliminate the serious nature of the safety and regulatory concerns noted by multiple reviewers.

    About We Care

    We Care sits at 3973 West Grand River in Owosso, MI, and has space for 6 people in an Adult Small Group Home, which means residents get to know each other and the staff over time, and the place stays calm and quiet most days, and this suits folks who want a more relaxed pace with a little more one-on-one attention from staff. The facility handles assisted living needs for older adults, people with dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as folks with physical disabilities, mental illness, or developmental challenges, so you'll find a wide range of care here, whether that means help with bathing, getting dressed in the morning, handling medication, or managing diabetes, and when someone has memory-related concerns, there's specialized memory care and Alzheimer's services too, including environments meant to prevent wandering and lower confusion.

    The grounds stay secure and small pets can come along, so some comfort from home still comes with you, and for those who have some trouble moving around, residents find plenty of grab bars and safe apartment layouts, whether they've got a private or shared room, and every bathroom's ADA accessible, which helps with personal care and keeping things as easy as possible. The staff can help with most daily needs, from taking a bath to getting ready for bed, and they always do health checks on a schedule, so stuff doesn't slip through the cracks, and if someone needs incontinence care or has other specific health requirements, those services are available too.

    There's fresh meals prepared by a chef, snacks during the day, and laundry facilities on site, along with parking for those who still drive, and if a move's tricky the staff can pitch in. Folks enjoy an exercise section, a theater room for movies, computer and technology classes, and even optional massage therapy, so there's things to do that make daily living feel a little better. Home maintenance is included, and storage space comes with rooms, so there's less to worry about. We Care Management runs the place, and it's fully licensed with the state, with an active status from December 2024 through December 2026, so it meets official requirements.

    The community also has independent living for active seniors who want less hassle, home care services for companionship or help with chores at a person's own house, and a residential care program for those who need live-in caregivers for everyday needs like bathing or getting dressed. There's a clinic run by physicians right at the facility, and a casual dining option called Nathan's Place for day care guests, while Colonial Park, another site, offers private rooms in a nurturing home for those looking for a quieter spot with warm staff around. The people running We Care keep a focus on real care, comfort, and treating residents as family, and there's resources on their website for anyone in the community looking after a loved one, so folks can learn or get some guidance as they need it.
