Who holds the license for Cozy Haven AFC?
The licensee of record is Cozy Haven AFC LLC, and it is the only home in our five-county area under that licensee name.
With one home under this licensee, ask who the administrator reports to and who is on call nights and weekends.
Does Cozy Haven AFC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's).
The dementia-services disclosure statute (MCL 333.20178) applies to nursing homes, homes for the aged and county medical care facilities, not to AFC homes, so ask this home for its dementia admission and retention policy in writing: what behaviors or care needs would require a move, how exits are secured, and who is awake overnight.

What should families ask Cozy Haven AFC before choosing it?
Start with the state record: ask Cozy Haven AFC about anything in its LARA reports, then about cost, staffing and what would force a move.
- Why is the license temporary rather than regular, and when does LARA expect to issue a regular license?
- Which staff are awake overnight, how many residents with dementia does each one cover, and how are exits secured?
- What is the all-in monthly cost at the current care level, and what triggers a higher rate?
- Does the licensee or a manager live in or work on site, and who covers when they are away?
