Does Sheldon Meadows Assisted Living Center accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file says yes: Sheldon Meadows Assisted Living Center 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.
