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.

Assisted Living Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my mom needs assisted living?
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?
Some assisted living homes charge a “one-size-fits-all” fee; you pay the same amount regardless of the services you need or receive. A person who needs very minimal support service pays the same as a person who receives a high level of service. Heritage Senior Communities offers a different payment option, where you only pay for the services you actually use each month.
The starting point for our fee structure is based on the apartment style selected and includes basic services such as housekeeping, laundry, cable television, assistance with basic daily care, participation in all social activities (on-site and off-site) and medication administration.
An additional fee is added based on additional services needed. This way, you are only paying for the services you need and want. The level of care needed is determined by the Personal Needs Assessment which is reviewed at least quarterly and when there is a significant event in the resident’s life—an acute medical condition, hospital stay, or ending therapy services.
My dad has become very inactive. What do you offer to help him get up and going again?
Each assisted living home develops their own activities calendar based on the interests of the residents; to view it online select the assisted living home of your choice and select the “Events” link.
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?
The Heritage Classic Menu is always available in addition to the chef’s daily specials. They are created to ensure that our residents meet all nutritional needs. In addition, we will weigh your parents monthly to ensure that they are maintaining a healthy weight.
Meals are a very social time for our residents. You may find that your parents are eating more when they are surrounded by friends instead of dining alone.
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?
If you are a veteran, or the spouse or dependent of a veteran, you may qualify for certain financial supports through the Veterans Benefits Administration at 800-827-1000.
Life Settlements offer a unique opportunity to supplement your resources through the sale of a life insurance policy that may no longer be needed.
In some cases, the MI Choice Waiver Program may be available if a person meets certain level of care, income and asset eligibility requirements.
Is assisted living tax deductible?
I seem to have so many questions. Do you have additional information I can review?
