Homes under one licensee tend to share staffing practices and policies; reading a sister home’s LARA reports can tell you how the operator responds when problems are found.
Does AHSL Holland Bay Pointe accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
AHSL Holland Bay Pointe carries LARA's Alzheimer's designation. It is licensed as adult foster care and serves physically handicapped, aged, and Alzheimer's.
Because AFC homes fall outside MCL 333.20178, nothing obliges this home to describe its dementia care in writing. Ask anyway -- a home that can put its approach on paper usually has one.
