Medilodge of Southfield

Medilodge of Southfield sits near hospitals, doctors, and rehab centers, which makes it easier for residents who need regular medical support to get where they need to go without trouble, and with 185 certified beds and an average of 148 residents each day, it's got both space and a bit of a busy community feel, and people who live here can get long-term skilled nursing care, short-term rehab, respite care, assisted living, and Alzheimer's Care, which means there are many support options whether someone needs help for a little while or for a longer stay, and services are tailored to each person so the staff can help folks maintain independence as their needs change, all with an approach that tries to keep everyone as active as possible by offering plenty of activities-both social and educational-with things planned regularly and even leadership and peer-motivation programs for those who want to be involved with Resident Council or other community groups. Staff here focus on medical care and comfort, with trained professionals around at all times, and the nurse staffing is above the state average at 4.30 hours per resident per day, which suggests they try to provide a little more time and care than most places, and the nurse turnover rate is also slightly lower than the state average, but the facility does have some history of issues, like deficiencies related to resident rights, infection control, and protecting people from abuse and neglect, with recent government reports noting a total of 107 deficiencies in the last inspection cycle, and it's a Special Focus Facility Candidate, which means it's been looked at closely for serious quality concerns even though it hasn't gotten the formal government flag, so families might want to carefully review those reports and weigh their options. Folks can expect amenities like laundry with friendly staff, a choice of meals like chicken dishes and beef tips over noodles, snacks each day, and activities in spaces designed to be comfortable and accessible, and for anyone wanting to visit or keep in touch, the facility offers tours and even lets families schedule Facetime chats with residents to help folks stay connected, and whether a person's staying for a short rehab or making it their home, Medilodge of Southfield aims to help people recover, improve their daily life, and enjoy what they can, all under the rules that promise no discrimination and expect ethical, responsible conduct from every employee or contractor who works here.
