Who holds the license for AHSL Holland Lighthouse?
The licensee of record is AH Holland Subtenant LLC. LARA's file lists 5 other homes under that same licensee in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm and Ionia counties.
Sister homes include AHSL Holland Bay Pointe (Holland), AHSL Holland Boardwalk (Holland), AHSL Holland Driftwood (Holland), AHSL Holland Beachside (Holland), and AHSL Holland Lakeshore (Holland).
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 AHSL Holland Lighthouse accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file lists AHSL Holland Lighthouse as an adult foster care home that serves residents with Alzheimer's disease, alongside 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.
