1500 Spring St, Petoskey, MI, 49770- Assisted living
- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Strong frontline care, management lacking
I visited The Villa and was impressed by genuinely kind, helpful and attentive staff, good PT/OT rehab, clean rooms, decent food and plenty of activities - residents seemed engaged and family visits were welcomed. However, I observed worrying operational issues: understaffing leading to slow call-button response and communication gaps with families, billing/administrative errors, privacy/coordination problems, small/outdated rooms and inconsistent cleanliness. Overall: excellent frontline care and therapists, but management, staffing and billing need improvement before I'd fully recommend it.
