Who holds the license for Byron Manor #4?
Byron Center Care Operations, LLC holds the license. The same licensee name appears on 3 other licensed homes in the five West Michigan counties this site covers.
The same licensee also holds Byron Manor #3 (Byron Center), Byron Manor #2 (Byron Center), and Byron Manor #5 (Byron Center).
A shared licensee usually means shared policies, training and management, so the inspection history of sister homes is worth a look too.
Does Byron Manor #4 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, 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.
