Who holds the license for Edison Christian Assisted Living?

Edison Christian Life Services 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 Edison Christian Assisted Living accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?

Not according to the state file. LARA lists Edison Christian Assisted Living as serving aged, without the Alzheimer's designation.

If a parent has a dementia diagnosis or early memory loss, ask the home directly whether it would admit and keep a resident whose memory declines, and what would trigger a move. Homes that do carry the Alzheimer's designation are listed on the memory care directory.

What did LARA's most recent inspection of Edison Christian Assisted Living find?

LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Edison Christian Assisted Living, published April 6, 2024 after an on-site inspection on March 15, 2024, established 2 rule violations, citing R 325.1922 (Admission and retention of residents) and R 325.1942 (Resident records).

A renewal study that establishes violations normally ends with LARA recommending renewal contingent on an acceptable corrective action plan from the licensee. Ask the home for that plan and what changed.
