Key Review Excerpts
“Husband had a massive stroke and was told he would never walk again and would be bed bound. I took him To The Willows at Okemos and they gave tremendous care to him and the therapy department is amazing.!!”
“The facility and rooms are kept extremely clean. Also many activities and entertainment are provided. The food is really good.”
“The staff is rude, they pull patients up or hold on to them by their depends and they do not clean the patient bathrooms if the patients have an issue.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
