Who holds the license for ReVara?
The licensee of record is Revara, 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 ReVara accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (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 should families ask ReVara before choosing it?
Bring the LARA record to the tour. These questions come straight from ReVara's own file and license.
- Which staff are awake overnight, how many residents with dementia does each one cover, and how are exits secured?
- Is the monthly rate all-inclusive, or are personal care and medication help billed as add-ons?
- Does the licensee or a manager live in or work on site, and who covers when they are away?
