How to evaluate MediLodge of Southfield

Staffing and transparency are the most important signals at any licensed community. Find out the awake-overnight staffing level, caregiver turnover, and the tenure of the administrator. Ask for an itemized, all-in monthly rate for your parent's specific care level, and what triggers a move to a higher-cost care tier. Visit more than once, unannounced, and check the license and inspection record with LARA via the Adult Foster Care & Homes for the Aged licensing search.
