Marvin & Betty Danto Health Care Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Marvin & Betty Danto Health Care Center currently has a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about the quality of care provided. They rank #295 out of 422 nursing homes in Michigan, placing them in the bottom half of facilities in the state, and #21 out of 43 in Oakland County, meaning only a few local options are worse. The facility is showing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 5 in 2024 to 15 in 2025, and has accumulated a concerning $145,315 in fines, which is higher than 85% of Michigan facilities. While staffing is rated as average with a 53% turnover, the RN coverage is also average, meaning there is some stability in staff, but many residents may not receive the best care. Specific incidents include a failure to monitor a resident's blood sugar and report abnormal lab results, leading to a delay in necessary care, as well as inadequate preventive measures against pressure ulcers for residents, resulting in serious health risks. Overall, while there are some strengths in staffing, the facility has significant weaknesses that should be carefully considered.

Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Marvin & Betty Danto Health Care Center on Any Federal Watch List?
Marvin & Betty Danto Health Care Center is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
