Overview

Fairlane Senior Care and Rehab Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families, sitting solidly in the middle of the pack. It ranks #114 out of 422 facilities in Michigan, placing it in the top half, and #12 of 63 in Wayne County, meaning only 11 local options are better. The facility is showing improvement, with issues decreasing from 9 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is rated average at 3 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 40%, which is better than the state average of 44%, but there is concerning RN coverage, as it falls short of 84% of facilities in Michigan. While the facility has no fines on record, indicating compliance with regulations, there are notable weaknesses. Recent inspections found issues such as improper garbage disposal, which could attract pests and affect residents' health, and a lack of qualified social workers, which raises concerns about meeting residents' mental health needs. Additionally, there were failures in monitoring hot water temperatures, posing a risk for the growth of harmful pathogens. Overall, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses when considering Fairlane Senior Care and Rehab Center.
