The State of Michigan, in cooperation with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is working to improve the care received by residents in nursing homes and to remove nursing homes that continue to have compliance problems.
CMS and the State of Michigan identify nursing homes with poor compliance histories and designate them as Special Focus Facilities (SFF). The State inspects Special Focus Facilities every six months and issues citations for deficiencies. SFFs that do not show "significant" progress are terminated from Medicare/Medicaid participation.
The following Michigan facilities have been designated as Special Focus Facilities:
Heartland Health Care Center 3625 W. Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI 49066
Designated SFF on 11/15/07
Metron of Big Rapids 725 W. Fuller Big Rapids MI 49307
