Who holds the license for Faith Care?
Afzal Troast is the licensee. No other home in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm or Ionia county is listed under that name.
With one home under this licensee, ask who the administrator reports to and who is on call nights and weekends.
Does Faith Care accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Faith Care carries LARA's Alzheimer's designation. It is licensed as adult foster care and serves developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, traumatic brain injury, 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 Faith Care find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Faith Care, published February 17, 2026, found the home in substantial compliance with no rule violations established.

What should families ask Faith Care before choosing it?
Ask Faith Care the questions its own inspection file raises, then the cost and staffing questions every family should ask.
- LARA established this allegation: “The dogs in the home have bit three people in the past few weeks, none of them residents.” What changed afterward, and can we see the corrective action plan?
- Which staff are awake overnight, how many residents with dementia does each one cover, and how are exits secured?
- Is the monthly rate all-inclusive, or are personal care and medication help billed as add-ons?
- Does the licensee or a manager live in or work on site, and who covers when they are away?
