Our read on Medilodge Of Tawas City
Medilodge Of Tawas City runs a tight ship on staffing, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 17% from weekday levels. Turnover sits at 37.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. Thirty-one deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though the last survey was recent, September 2025. No abuse citations. This is a for-profit corporate home where the care hours are there but the compliance record is the weak point. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level deficiency before you decide.
