Medilodge of Cass City

Medilodge of Cass City is a nursing home that provides care for people needing skilled nursing, short-term rehab, or longer-term support, and it helps those with memory issues like dementia through its memory care program, with 80 certified beds and around 60 residents on an average day, so folks see familiar faces quite often and the community tends to feel close. The place has clean, comfortable rooms and has had some renovations in recent years, and you'll find things like a courtyard to sit outside, gardens that folks can walk or rest in when the weather's nice, a chapel, and a beauty salon folks can use, and the kitchen staff keeps coffee ready all day with plenty of snacks, which residents always seem glad about. Nurses and therapy staff offer a wide range of services, from help with medication and daily needs to rehabilitation needs after surgery, stroke, or illness, plus infusion therapy, wound care, dialysis, bariatric treatment, and several types of physical, occupational, speech, and language therapies, so no matter the health challenge there's always something on offer. Families who need a short break can use respite stays, which include meals, activities, and medical support, and they've got hospice care for those who need comfort at the end of life. The staff does try to help residents feel at home, creating a friendly setting, though it's worth knowing the nurse turnover rate is higher than average at nearly 49.2%, and nurse hours per resident fall below the state average at 3.73 a day, which may mean less continuity. There have been some issues in the past with infection control and pharmacy services, with 38 total deficiencies and 4 related to infection, which is important for families to remember when considering the facility, though they do say they work within federal and state laws and uphold non-discrimination and ethical conduct rules. Medilodge of Cass City operates under ownership by Ark Opco Group, LLC, with management by Craig Flashner and Yitzchok Perlstein since 2015, and it's run as a for-profit corporation, which means making a profit is a part of the business, and they affiliate with Medilodge. Although Medilodge of Cass City offers a variety of services focused on care and recovery-helping residents regain strength, restore daily skills, or maintain comfort-it's important to know both the positives, like recent renovations and a knowledgeable therapy team, and the challenges, such as cited deficiencies and staffing turnover, when you're thinking about whether it's the right place for your loved one.
