Shahid Imran, founder and CEO of Detroit-area senior living developer Build Senior Living, is named in one active civil lawsuit in Florida and is the listed administrator or authorized representative at several Michigan assisted living facilities that have been the subject of state investigations. No criminal charges or fraud allegations have been filed against him personally, and none of the Michigan probes have resulted in a license being revoked or downgraded.
Who Shahid Imran Is
Imran co-founded Build Senior Living in 2012. The company operates or is developing roughly 38 communities across Florida, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia, and Michigan, branded as “Hampton Manor Premier Assisted Living.”1PR Newswire.

The Florida Lawsuit Against ALF Contracting
In December 2024, Imran filed a civil suit in Florida’s Twentieth Judicial Circuit against ALF Contracting, LLC, a company in which he is a member-manager alongside Harding Dormire and Teresa Syed. The suit seeks to force the company to produce its books and records under Florida law, specifically financial statements and tax returns from 2022 through 2024 tied to assisted living projects in Ocala, Palm Bay, Winchester, Clermont, and Williamsburg.3UniCourt.

Imran’s demand letter went out in November 2024. ALF Contracting told him office closures from a Southwest Florida hurricane had prevented it from turning over the documents.3UniCourt.

Both matters were consolidated under a March 2025 stipulation and referred to nonbinding arbitration in June 2025, and both remained open as of mid-2025.4UniCourt.

Michigan State Investigations at Hampton Manor Facilities
Several Hampton Manor facilities where Imran is the listed administrator have been investigated by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). Some investigations produced substantiated violations and corrective action plans; others produced no citations. All affected facilities kept their regular licenses.
Hampton Manor of Madison
The Madison facility, operated by Hampton Manor of Adrian LLC, has been cited across three separate LARA investigations between 2024 and 2025.
A January 2024 investigation found that staff failed to update medication orders for a resident discharged from the hospital after a dangerously low blood sugar episode. About ten days later the resident suffered a second hypoglycemic event and was hospitalized again. Medication administration records for other residents contained blanks where staff should have documented whether drugs were given.5Michigan LARA. Special Investigation Report, Hampton Manor of Madison, 2024A1027016 The facility filed a corrective action plan on January 18, 2024.6Michigan LARA. Renewal Inspection Report, Hampton Manor of Madison
At a renewal inspection in March 2024, inspectors flagged a repeat violation of the same medication-administration rule. Staff had failed to follow insulin-holding protocols for a resident on nine separate occasions between February and March 2024, despite the corrective plan already on file.6Michigan LARA. Renewal Inspection Report, Hampton Manor of Madison
An April 2024 investigation found memory care residents in an unsecured hallway without continuous staff supervision, no compliant written description of the memory care program, unposted therapeutic diet menus, kitchen staff unaware of prescribed dietary requirements, and missing food-use records. Separate allegations about understaffing and falsified schedules were investigated and not substantiated.7Michigan LARA. Special Investigation Report, Hampton Manor of Madison, 2024A1011010
A June 2025 investigation found that the facility ran out of two prescribed medications for a resident because staff had not reordered them, and that staff logged the resident as having “refused” the medication on days it simply was not in stock. The same investigation found that a 30-day discharge notice issued to the resident did not state a permitted reason for discharge and did not inform the resident of the right to file a complaint.8Michigan LARA. Special Investigation Report, Hampton Manor of Madison, 2025A1019064
Hampton Manor of Taylor
An October 2024 LARA investigation at Hampton Manor of Taylor found that overnight-shift staffing fell below the facility’s own stated minimums on 34 dates over a roughly seven-week span. Additional allegations at that investigation, including missing resident service plans, employees working without tuberculosis tests, inaccurate narcotic counts, and unsanitary kitchen conditions, were investigated and not substantiated.9Michigan LARA. Special Investigation Report, Hampton Manor of Taylor, 2024A1019070
Hampton Manor of St. Clair
Imran told McKnight’s Senior Living that his St. Clair, Michigan facility received 81 allegations in 2024, all of which triggered state-mandated inspections. He called the claims “unfounded” and attributed 79 percent to “disgruntled employees” and 18 percent to resident families.10McKnight’s Senior Living. This Operator and Developer Wants More Regulation The individual outcomes of those inspections were not detailed in available reporting.
Trenton and Hamburg
LARA records show four special investigation reports published for Hampton Manor of Hamburg 2 between June 2023 and September 2025,11Michigan LARA. Facility Profile, Hampton Manor of Hamburg 2 and two for Hampton Manor of Trenton in 2024 and 2025.12Michigan LARA. Facility Profile, Hampton Manor of Trenton Both facilities held active, regular licenses at last record. The state notes that a special investigation report reflects a complaint received and does not by itself mean violations were found.
Imran’s Response and Push for Federal Regulation
Imran has publicly argued that the complaint-driven inspection system is being abused. In a February 2025 press release and later interviews, he called for a national caregiver database to track workers dismissed for abuse or neglect, saying it would “improve transparency, accountability and consistency across all states.”10McKnight’s Senior Living. This Operator and Developer Wants More Regulation He has also called for redirecting inspector resources toward what he described as “real cases of neglect or misconduct.”1PR Newswire. Build Senior Living Redefines Senior Care Nationwide With Visionary Leadership and Compassionate Growth Imran told McKnight’s the campaign grew out of the 81-complaint experience at St. Clair, and that as of March 2025 he had not yet consulted national industry advocacy organizations about his proposals.
