Who holds the license for Four Seasons Adult Assisted Living?
Lorraine Morales is the licensee. No other home in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm or Ionia county is listed under that name.
With one home under this licensee, ask who the administrator reports to and who is on call nights and weekends.
Does Four Seasons Adult Assisted Living accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file lists Four Seasons Adult Assisted Living as an adult foster care home that serves residents with Alzheimer's disease, alongside 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.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Four Seasons Adult Assisted Living find?
