Does Portland Assisted Living & Memory Manor accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?

Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (aged and Alzheimer's).

The dementia-services disclosure statute (MCL 333.20178) applies to nursing homes, homes for the aged and county medical care facilities, not to AFC homes, so ask this home for its dementia admission and retention policy in writing: what behaviors or care needs would require a move, how exits are secured, and who is awake overnight.
