Who holds the license for Eva's AFC Home?
The licensee of record is K'Lee Felty, and it is the only home in our five-county area under that licensee name.
A single-home licensee often means the owner is closely involved day to day; ask who covers when the owner or administrator is away.
Does Eva's AFC Home accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (physically handicapped, 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 Eva's AFC Home before choosing it?

- Does the licensee or a manager live in or work on site, and who covers when they are away?
