Who holds the license for Laursen AFC?
The licensee of record is Sheila Laursen, 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 Laursen AFC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Laursen AFC carries LARA's Alzheimer's designation. It is licensed as adult foster care and serves developmentally disabled, aged, 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 did LARA's most recent inspection of Laursen AFC find?
No violations: the renewal study LARA published on January 23, 2026 (on-site December 23, 2025) recommended continuing Laursen AFC's license without establishing any rule violation.
