State Licensed Home for the Aged Each Heritage assisted living homes is licensed by the State of Michigan as a “Home for the Aged.” Since the State of Michigan does not have an “assisted living license” category, they instead consider assisted living facilities Homes for the Aged. This category is defined as homes with more than 20 residents serving persons aged 60 years or older. To comply with state standards, we are relicensed every year after a thorough inspection. We welcome yearly inspections because we take pride on our high quality services, and we’ve made our state audits public so that you can read them for yourself. Check them out on the Department of Human Services Website today. It’s good to note that most long-term care insurance policies require services be provided in a licensed setting. You’ll see that our current licenses are always posted in the lobby of each home, along with a copy of the latest inspection report. It is important to us that you know our homes are properly licensed and regularly inspected, so for any concerns that our on-site staff or corporate office cannot address, the State Bureau of Child and Adult Licensing offers a complaint hot-line. Find a Heritage Senior Community Near You EXPLORE COMMUNITIES Assisted Living Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How do I know if my mom needs assisted living? We will conduct a Personal Needs Assessment before your loved one moves in, to determine exactly what support services they require. This assessment will be reviewed with you, your loved one and other family members as well as their physician. From this assessment we develop a service plan that is unique to your loved one’s needs. This plan serves as a guide so our staff knows exactly what support your loved one needs—and how we can best meet those needs. This assessment will be updated 30 days after your loved one moves in, to allow us to confirm the accuracy of the initial assessment and to give them time to adjust to a new home. From that point on, this assessment is updated quarterly or upon any significant change in physical or mental status. Isn't assisted living expensive? My dad has become very inactive. What do you offer to help him get up and going again? I’m concerned my parents are not getting enough nutrition because my mother eats like a bird and my father sleeps late and misses breakfast. How can you ensure they eat enough to stay healthy? What can my loved one bring to your assisted living care facility? My dad has high blood pressure and needs to be checked often. Can you monitor it for him? Does Medicare cover the cost of the montly fee? What about health care insurance? Is there any help available to pay for it? Is assisted living tax deductible? I seem to have so many questions. Do you have additional information I can review?
