Source: Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, facility AH330278347, read 2026-11-07. A Special Investigation Report follows a rule-related complaint, and a report's presence isn't itself a violation: some conclude that no violation was established. Michigan asks readers to read any report in its entirety. Dates are when the state published the report, and we don't count reports as violations. See the state's record.
