Who holds the license for Princeton AFC?
733 Prince LLC is the licensee. No other home in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm or Ionia county is listed under that 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 Princeton AFC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Princeton AFC carries LARA's Alzheimer's designation. It is licensed as adult foster care and 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 did LARA's most recent inspection of Princeton AFC find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Princeton AFC, published July 12, 2025 after an on-site inspection on May 8, 2025, established 8 rule violations, citing R 400.14201 (Qualifications of administrator, direct care staff, licensee,), R 400.14204 (Direct care staff; qualifications and training), R 400.14301 (Resident admission criteria; resident assessment plan), R 400.14305 (Resident protection), and R 400.14318 (Emergency preparedness; evacuation plan; emergency).
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.
