CMS flags this facility for citations of abuse that caused harm, or potential for harm, to residents.
Our read on The Orchards At Samaritan
The Orchards at Samaritan runs 120 certified beds in Detroit under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 8% under the national average, thin enough on its own, but weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters in a building with 32 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Quality measures score well, but quality scores come largely from resident assessments the home reports itself; inspections and staffing are measured independently, and those are where this home struggles.
