Who holds the license for Grand Pines Assisted Living Center?
Grand Pines Assisted Living LLC 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 Grand Pines Assisted Living Center accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file says yes: Grand Pines Assisted Living Center is licensed to serve residents with Alzheimer's disease. Because it is a home for the aged, MCL 333.20178 requires a written dementia-services description for families if it advertises that care.
That written description must cover the program's philosophy, admission and discharge criteria, how care plans are set, staff training, the physical environment, activities, and any supplemental fees. Ask for it before a tour, and compare the fee section against the monthly quote you are given.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Grand Pines Assisted Living Center find?
LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Grand Pines Assisted Living Center, published June 23, 2025 after an on-site inspection on May 27, 2025, established 5 rule violations, citing R 325.1932 (Resident medications), R 325.1975 (Laundry and linen requirements), R 325.1976 (Kitchen and dietary), and R 325.1979 (General maintenance and storage).
