Who holds the license for Radiant Care Services?
The licensee of record is Radiant Care Services LLC, 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 Radiant Care Services accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Not according to the state file. LARA lists Radiant Care Services as serving physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, and traumatic brain injury, without the Alzheimer's designation.
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.
