What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its rehabilitation therapy and clean environment, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, families must be vigilant regarding basic care; we strongly recommend asking for a detailed plan on how the facility manages call-light response times and hygiene assistance, as these are recurring points of failure.

However, there are serious, recurring reports of understaffing that lead to significant delays in basic care, such as pain medication administration and hygiene assistance. Families should be aware that while many have positive experiences, there are documented instances of neglected medical needs and slow response times.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The aides and nurses were great loving people, but overworked because this place is understaffed! My father did not receive the physical therapy nor the speech therapy we were promised.”
“I moved my mother to St Clair Nursing Center Memory Care from another facility and have been thankful ever since. She received excellent care and the staff took care of her like she was part of their family.”
“My mom and dad there 2 weeks neither one received a shower. My moms surgery bandage was not removed are the wound cleaned. One day my dad was still in bed at 11 am. Laying in his wet diaper and bed.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
St. Clair Nursing Center shows recurring fire safety violations across multiple surveys, with deficiencies in smoke detection systems, sprinkler maintenance, and fire barriers appearing in both 2023 and 2024 inspections. The facility also had issues with accident prevention that persisted across surveys, plus problems with resident rights and respiratory care. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated fire safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
