Who holds the license for StoryPoint Forest Hills?
The licensee of record is PVL at Grand Rapids, LLC, 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 StoryPoint Forest Hills accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file says yes: StoryPoint Forest Hills is licensed to serve residents with Alzheimer's disease. Because it is a home for the aged, MCL 333.20178 requires a written dementia-services description for families if it advertises that care.
Ask StoryPoint Forest Hills for that document before you visit. Read the discharge criteria and the supplemental-fee section first; those two parts decide whether a parent can stay as dementia progresses and what it will cost.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of StoryPoint Forest Hills find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of StoryPoint Forest Hills, published June 29, 2024 after an on-site inspection on June 5, 2024, established 3 rule violations, citing R 325.1921 (Governing bodies, administrators, and supervisors), R 325.1976 (Kitchen and dietary), and R 325.1979 (General maintenance and storage).
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.
