With one home under this licensee, ask who the administrator reports to and who is on call nights and weekends.
Does Unity Garden AFC accept residents with Alzheimer's or dementia?

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.
