Who holds the license for Meadows by the Lake?

The licensee of record is Meadows by the Lake Inc., and it is the only home in our five-county area under that licensee 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 Meadows by the Lake 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, aged, and Alzheimer's).

Michigan's written dementia disclosure law does not reach adult foster care, so put the questions to Meadows by the Lake directly: how many staff are awake at night for 20 residents, how doors are secured, and what would lead to a discharge notice.

What did LARA's most recent inspection of Meadows by the Lake find?

LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Meadows by the Lake, published April 5, 2026 after an on-site inspection on March 3, 2026, established 3 rule violations, citing R 400.629 (Direct care staff; qualifications and training), R 400.631 (Health screenings), and R 400.685 (Resident admission; resident assessment plan; resident).

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.
