Who holds the license for C.M.G Serenity Home Care LLC?
C.M.G Serenity Home Care LLC 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 C.M.G Serenity Home Care LLC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
C.M.G Serenity Home Care LLC carries LARA's Alzheimer's designation. It is licensed as adult foster care and 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.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of C.M.G Serenity Home Care LLC find?
