Great staff
Staff were very friendly and asked all my questions. Very easy to understand pricing. Love the location next to a picturesque stream and close to Saginaw but not right in town. The building was very clean and modern.

Great Experience Overall
Our family has had a great experience over at Shields. It is not a huge place and everyone is always so friendly. We get our concerns taken care of and the communication has been awesome. We are a big family with a lot of idea's and they never seem bothered by all of our suggestions.

Traumatic Experience
If you're considering placing your loved one at this facility I strongly urge you to reconsider. My father was admitted on a Friday and by Sunday afternoon we brought him home because we were concerned for his well-being and safety. Within the first 24 hours of being at the facility, my father had a potentially life-threatening fall that resulted in an emergency room visit. We were assured a bed alarm would be placed on the bed, it was not. The facility is severely understaffed and poorly managed. If they have the appropriate staff-to-resident ratio by law, I would be shocked. In the wing my father was in there was only one aide and one floater per shift for several residents that were considered fall risks. They have life-alert devices that residents wear. My father pushed it twice in the short time he was there with no response. Not a delayed response - NO response at all. Additionally, we learned that some of the staff responsible for caring for the residents make $13 p/ho

Response from Shields Comfort Care
September 19, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. We take these things very seriously, and apologize for the experience you felt you had. We place our resident care and well-being as a top priority. As an assisted living facility, one-on-one care is not a service we offer. So it can potentially feel as if we're "understaffed" when we're fully staffed, if one-on-one care was the expectation. When it comes to bed alarms it is unfortunate that we kept waiting for it by the family as we were told not to order a new one and he has one that will be brought in. We have an open-door policy and both welcome and appreciate when our residents, families, and staff bring any concerns to us and give us the opportunity and time to work together on a solution. We went so far to fully refund the fee to the family, and can only wish the best for their loved ones. It is unfortunate that this family has not even allowed for one meeting prior to trying to post review which will hurt so many because they work really hard to take care of every resident.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Michigan regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Shields Comfort Care

Shields Comfort Care offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Shields Comfort Care 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
