Who holds the license for Kazi Adult Foster Care Home?
The licensee of record is Mugabekazi, Angelique, 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 Kazi Adult Foster Care Home accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file does not include Alzheimer's among the populations Kazi Adult Foster Care Home serves; it lists developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, and traumatic brain injury.
Memory loss after move-in is common. Ask what the home does when a resident starts wandering or needs cues for daily tasks, and keep the Alzheimer's-designated homes in mind as a next step.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Kazi Adult Foster Care Home find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Kazi Adult Foster Care Home, published May 19, 2026 after an on-site inspection on April 13, 2026, established 6 rule violations, citing R 400.619 (Emergency preparedness plan), R 400.631 (Health screenings), R 400.637 (Handling of resident funds and valuables), R 400.639 (Staff records), and R 400.685 (Resident admission; resident assessment plan; resident).
A renewal study that establishes violations normally ends with LARA recommending renewal contingent on an acceptable corrective action plan from the licensee. Ask the home for that plan and what changed.
