Who holds the license for Yvonne's House?
Kays House Llc holds the license. The same licensee name appears on 1 other licensed home in the five West Michigan counties this site covers.
The same licensee also holds Kays House (Grand Rapids).
Homes under one licensee tend to share staffing practices and policies; reading a sister home’s LARA reports can tell you how the operator responds when problems are found.
Does Yvonne's House 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, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's).
Michigan's written dementia disclosure law does not reach adult foster care, so put the questions to Yvonne's House directly: how many staff are awake at night for 5 residents, how doors are secured, and what would lead to a discharge notice.
