What licensed senior care is in Allegan County, Michigan?
Allegan County has 40 LARA-licensed homes serving older adults (3 homes for the aged, 14 large and 23 small adult foster care homes, 578 beds) and 6 certified nursing homes.
Allegan County is mostly rural, with three distinct pockets of senior care: the south side of Holland, which sits partly in Allegan County; the county seat of Allegan on the Kalamazoo River; and the US-131 towns of Wayland, Plainwell and Otsego, where families look as often toward Kalamazoo as toward Grand Rapids.
That split shows up in the programs, too. Allegan belongs to Region 8, so the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan handles information and MI Choice intake, but PACE coverage depends on the ZIP code: Care Resources for Wayland, Dorr and the county's northeast corner, LifeCircles-PACE for the Lakeshore ZIPs, and Senior Care Partners PACE for Plainwell and Otsego. The city of Allegan's 49010 appears in both the LifeCircles and Senior Care Partners lists.
Which Allegan County towns have the most licensed homes?
Holland (10), Allegan (7), and Wayland (5) lead the county by number of LARA-licensed homes.
