About Nursing Home Care in Charlevoix
When it comes to nursing home care in Charlevoix, MI, families should proceed with caution. The standout is Boulder Park Terrace, but with a troubling Grade F rating, it’s not a facility you can trust. Overall, the market in Charlevoix is concerning, with no facilities meeting acceptable standards for quality care. Families are better off exploring options in neighboring cities where care might be more reliable.
Unfortunately, there are no facilities in Charlevoix worth recommending. Boulder Park Terrace has a clean record with zero fines over the past three years, but that does little to offset its poor grade and the lack of staffing or nonprofit options. The best course of action is to look at nearby towns for better care options. Consider facilities in Petoskey or Harbor Springs where you might find better-rated homes, although you will have to do your own digging to identify the best ones.
Families should avoid Boulder Park Terrace outright due to its Grade F rating. Such a grade often signals serious issues, including inadequate staffing and poor care standards. It’s crucial to visit any facility in person before making a decision. Pay attention to staff interactions with residents and the overall cleanliness of the place, as these can be telling signs of the quality of care provided.
