Who holds the license for Country Living Senior Care?

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 Country Living Senior Care accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Not according to the state file. LARA lists Country Living Senior Care as serving aged, without the Alzheimer's designation.
For a resident whose memory is stable this may not matter. If it is changing, compare Country Living Senior Care with homes on the memory care list before you commit.
