Is Medilodge of Yale a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 5 out of 5 stars overall, above the Michigan average of 3.2. Inspectors issued 7 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 3 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
