Who holds the license for Tender Hearts Resthaven?
The licensee of record is Rene Lopez, 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 Tender Hearts Resthaven accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes -- the state file includes Alzheimer's among the populations this adult foster care home serves (physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, aged, and Alzheimer's).
Michigan's written dementia disclosure law does not reach adult foster care, so put the questions to Tender Hearts Resthaven directly: how many staff are awake at night for 6 residents, how doors are secured, and what would lead to a discharge notice.
