Our read on Schoolcraft Medical Care Facility

Schoolcraft Medical Care Facility is county-owned and holds 85 certified beds, and its staffing sits about 9% below the national average at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 51.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people who stay are stretched thinnest exactly when backup is hardest to find. The inspection record is where it gets harder to wave off: 19 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $63,492 fine. The last inspection came in January 2025. Quality measures score middling, staffing scores comparatively well on paper, but the deficiency history tells a different story about what that staffing actually delivers.
