Dedicated to Improving Lives

3860 Dobie Road, Okemos, Michigan 48864

In 2019, we are pleased to announce our 175th anniversary. To highlight this accomplishment, we thought you may want to learn a little about our organization.

On January 9, 1844 Ingham County purchased 80 acres of farm land for $400.00 to begin taking care of its residents (in what is now Ingham County Medical Care Facility). This original 80 acres was located near the intersection of Okemos & Holt roads in Alaiedon Township (Mason).

A second purchase of 120 acres was made in 1878, moving the Facility to land in Okemos where our current building sits here on Dobie Road. The 1878 building was replaced in the 1920’s with the current Carriage Lane apartments; Ingham County Medical Care Facility built and moved into our current building in 1978.
April 2006 brought the addition of our current 32-bed rehabilitation services wing and in 2011 we added our warm water therapy pool. In 2012 “Memory Lane” was built, allowing more space for our residents with Dementia, and 2015 saw the addition of our Outpatient Therapy Clinic.

2019 will also see the completion of Dobie’s most recent addition. A resort like setting with 48 private rooms designed specifically to provide complex short-term rehabilitation and high acuity care services along with a bistro, spa, new Outpatient Therapy Clinic with 24/7 senior fitness opportunities and a community room for senior wellness programs.

We are thankful for everyone in the community for their support as we continue our mission to be

“Dedicated to Improving Lives”

Joyce G.
Everything was super great. I would tell everyone to go there if needed because I feel I’ve left friends behind me.
The Family of Lilly F.
I can say, without question, the experience (in the Rehabilitation Services Center) was not only positive, it was fantastic. The staff from admissions to nursing to rehab to care-taking was amazing. The family cannot express appreciation enough during this time. It turned out to be a truly wonderful experience for all concerned.
Family of Betty W.
From the beginning, when my mother was in rehabilitation after surgery, every person in the facility that came in contact with her was attentive, many knew her name and mine and our every need was either anticipated or immediately satisfied if made known.
James C.
It is important to me that you know how pleased I am that we chose Ingham County Rehabilitation Services for my recovery from surgery. I was a patient at your Dobie Road facility for three and a half weeks and could not have expected better care than I received.
Kathy T.
I recently had the opportunity to visit your facility while visiting my father. I must tell you that I worked as a Social/Activity Director in long term care here in my home state, Texas. I am embarrassed to say that Texas can’t hold a candle to you. I have never had the pleasure of being in a facility that is so clean, and so well managed. Your staffing is superior to what is offered here. My experience was so enjoyable that I would love to be able to visit more often.
Family of Norma S.
As a former nursing administrator, I was apprehensive about her (our mother’s) follow-up care at your skilled nursing facility having incurred a less than positive experience elsewhere. However, we were extremely pleased to witness the professional and caring manner exhibited by your staff.
Family of Genevieve B.
“I know I speak for my entire family in expressing heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary level of care our mother received in her nearly two years at ICMCF. We were comforted in knowing that she was not just in good but exceptional hands. There was not a single staffer at any level who missed a beat in treating our mother with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity.”
