When to Call a Senior Care Advisor. This guide walks Metro Detroit families through what to expect, what to watch for, and what to do next — clearly and without jargon.
If you'd rather just talk it through, our free advisors are available at (313) 555-0100.
Key takeaways
- The right answer depends on care level, budget, family availability, and timeline.
- Talk to a free advisor before touring — saves 30+ hours and prevents over-spending on the wrong setting.
- Michigan-specific rules apply: LARA's Bureau of Community and Health Systems licenses Homes for the Aged under the Public Health Code (1978 PA 368, Part 213) and Adult Foster Care homes under the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act (1979 PA 218); Medicaid long-term care runs through the MI Choice Waiver and MI Health Link; memory care is delivered within an HFA or AFC setting with dementia-trained staff rather than a separate state license.
- Most placements happen faster than families expect — typical 7–14 days end-to-end.
