The inspection, completed May 26, 2026, was triggered by a complaint.

Inspectors who visited the facility at 1517 East Knickerbocker Drive on May 27 found that residents were waiting longer than that.

That was the finding from a complaint inspection completed May 27, 2026, at the facility located at 3301 View St.

The deficiency was one of six cited during the complaint inspection.

Nothing between the raw meat packaging and the ready-to-eat food she was about to open and serve to residents.

That detail, spare as it is, sits at the center of a complaint inspection completed at the Houghton Lake nursing home in May 2026.

When asked specifically how to monitor a resident on blood thinners, and what to look for, he said he would have to check.

The inspection report does not name the resident.

The resident, identified in inspection records only as R2, had a long history of chronic leg wounds from lymphedema and peripheral vascular disease.

The incident happened on January 25, 2026, at approximately 3:15 in the afternoon.

The resident at Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center had fractured their femur.
