Michigan Masonic Home has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: compassionate nursing and cna staff and effective physical therapy services. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families should approach this facility with caution due to recent reports of poor management communication, lack of follow-up, and issues with facility maintenance like extreme air dryness. While many long-term reviews praise the compassionate nursing and physical therapy staff, recent feedback highlights significant concerns regarding administrative professionalism and unexpected room relocations due to renovations.
