Does New Haven Assisted Living accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file lists New Haven Assisted Living as an adult foster care home that serves residents with Alzheimer's disease, alongside physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, 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.
