What this means for your family
While the facility is often praised for its clean appearance and friendly administrative staff, there is a consistent pattern of reports regarding understaffing and neglect of basic hygiene. We strongly recommend that families conduct unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to observe actual care levels, as multiple reviewers have noted significant lapses in resident supervision and communication during these times.

Key Review Excerpts
“As with any facility you need to advocate for your loved one since these facilities can often be understaffed, slowing things like communication, paperwork, Hospice follow ups, etc.”
“It broke my heart to see how disconnected some of the staff at Shields Comfort Care in Saginaw seemed. They're always losing my grandmas clothes and they let her have too much sugar and sweets.”
“Within the first 24 hours of being at the facility, my father had a potentially life-threatening fall that resulted in an emergency room visit. We were assured a bed alarm would be placed on the bed, it was not.”
