Who holds the license for Rest Haven Home?

The licensee of record is Rest Haven Homes, 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 Rest Haven Home accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?

LARA's file says yes: Rest Haven Home 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 Rest Haven Home find?

LARA's latest renewal licensing study of Rest Haven Home, published September 20, 2024 after an on-site inspection on September 4, 2024, established 3 rule violations, citing R 325.1922 (Admission and retention of residents), R 325.1932 (Resident medications), and R 325.1976 (Kitchen and dietary).

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.
