Who holds the license for Stanford Lodge?
Collaborative Care Partners Inc is the licensee. No other home in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Montcalm or Ionia county is listed under that 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.

Not according to the state file. LARA lists Stanford Lodge as serving aged, without the Alzheimer's designation.
Memory loss after move-in is common. Ask what the home does when a resident starts wandering or needs cues for daily tasks, and keep the Alzheimer's-designated homes in mind as a next step.
