Who holds the license for 1732 Homes?
Cross, Todd AND Cross, Debra 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 1732 Homes accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home 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.
