5/20/13 - An adult foster-care facility in Brighton was the target of a complaint and subsequent state investigation earlier this year. Evelyn Longsworth of Genoa Township had her husband placed in building #3 at Ashley Court in Brighton in February of last year after his Alzheimerâs conditions progressed. He passed away last August. In January, she filed a formal complaint with the Michigan Department of Human Services alleging the ratio of direct staff care to residents was not adequate, and the staff shortage resulted in residents not receiving adequate supervision, personal care and protection. There were also allegations that residents fall frequently and injure themselves. The state conducted surprise on-site investigations earlier this year and issued an inspection report in April. Due to violations identified in two recent reports regarding Ashley Court in Brighton, a written corrective action plan was required. The licensee of Ashley Court, Rubin Chandok, has since submitted that plan to the Bureau of Child and Adult Licensing. A DHS spokesman told WHMI both reports have been addressed by the licensee to the satisfaction of the bureau and it did not take any disciplinary action beyond citing Ashley Court for the violations. A link to the investigation reports and related documents can be found below. (JM)
