Our read on Medilodge Of Cass City

Medilodge of Cass City runs a tight ship on inspections, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a recent survey from August 2025. But look closely at staffing: 3.77 nurse hours per resident day is slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays, so coverage can thin out when families visit. The good news is turnover sits at 35.9%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning you're more likely to see familiar faces. With 32 deficiencies on record but none rising to harm or jeopardy, and no abuse findings, the problems here look more like paperwork and process than resident safety.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
