The Bay At Cranbrook Health & Rehabilitation Center, now closed, was a large nursing home in Detroit's East Side at 5000 East Seven Mile Road, between Ryan and Mound, right in the Krainz Woods neighborhood, and the place offered a range of senior care options covering assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite, and home care, so the community took in seniors with many levels of care needs and you could see people here who needed help right after the hospital as well as folks who needed a place for long-term support or different services while they recovered or adjusted to health changes, and everything was run as a for-profit partnership. Rooms ranged from studios to one- and two-bedroom units, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable, telephones, furnished spaces, and Wi-Fi, and the facility was set up for comfort and functionality, while the common areas had things like a dining room, game room, movie theater, gardens, outdoor spaces, small library, a computer center, and wellness and fitness rooms, so residents had community-sponsored and resident-run activities, fitness and wellness programs, arts, music, scheduled daily activities, a spa, beauty salon, organized outings, walking paths, transportation and parking. There was round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system, 12-16 hour daily nursing care, and licensed staff, nurses, therapists, and professional aides gave personalized help, handling medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, meal preparation, dietary needs, diabetes diets, and allergy-sensitive meals, all prepared by a professional chef with restaurant-style dining available any time, and regular housekeeping, laundry service, move-in help, family support, and even concierge.
The community had strong mental wellness programs with 0% of tracked residents showing depression symptoms, and anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic medications were used with 17.54% and 15.79% of residents, which reflected careful management, while the place showed an A+ record for urinary tract infection prevention-0% affected-plus a low rate of pressure ulcers (1.75%), and just 1.75% experienced serious falls, so care quality was above average in those areas. The Bay At Cranbrook got a C overall but earned higher grades in specific areas, including B-plus for facility inspection, B-plus for nurse staffing and nurse scores, and showed only 8 basic health and safety deficiencies, none serious or risky for residents. Staff handled IV antibiotics, wound care, speech, occupational and physical therapy, podiatry, mental health services, nutritional counseling, hospice, palliative care, and memory-enhancing activities for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, alongside medical transportation, homemaking, and comprehensive nursing care for complex health needs. The vaccine compliance rate for pneumonia and flu sat at about 77.35%. Residents who lived here long-term faced a moderate autonomy maintenance rate, with about 8.5% needing increased help as time went on. The Bay At Cranbrook operated as a skilled nursing facility community within a Continuing Care Retirement Community system, giving choices for medical rehabilitation, secure memory care, 24/7 support, as well as help with daily living, and while the building and staff had a record for keeping things running well and staff worked to prevent big problems, it's no longer taking new residents since the facility is now closed, so whatever information is floating around about services and amenities is all from before they shut the doors, but people have remembered it for giving a mix of medical care and support, special programs, and a comfortable environment for older adults in need of extra help or supervision.
