Our read on Medilodge Of Port Huron

Medilodge of Port Huron runs on 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 22.9% is roughly half the national rate, a real signal that people tend to stay. Weekends get about 20% less staffing than weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The 14 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025.
