Who holds the license for Kingdom Rest Center, LLC?
The licensee of record is Kingdom Rest Center, LLC. LARA's file lists 1 other home under that same licensee in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm and Ionia counties.
Sister homes include Kingdom Rest Center (Kentwood).
A shared licensee usually means shared policies, training and management, so the inspection history of sister homes is worth a look too.
Does Kingdom Rest Center, LLC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's).
Michigan's written dementia disclosure law does not reach adult foster care, so put the questions to Kingdom Rest Center, LLC directly: how many staff are awake at night for 10 residents, how doors are secured, and what would lead to a discharge notice.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Kingdom Rest Center, LLC find?
