Sister homes include Woodlea Cottage (Otsego), Kentwood Cottage (Kentwood), and Red Oak Cottage (Allegan).
A shared licensee usually means shared policies, training and management, so the inspection history of sister homes is worth a look too.
Does Silver Maple Cottage accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
LARA's file lists Silver Maple Cottage as an adult foster care home that serves residents with Alzheimer's disease, alongside physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, traumatic brain injury, 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.
What did LARA's most recent inspection of Silver Maple Cottage find?
