American House Dearborn Heights is located in the Metro Detroit area and is licensed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Bureau of Community and Health Systems (BCHS). Home for the Aged (HFA) license under the Public Health Code (1978 PA 368, Part 213), or Adult Foster Care (AFC) license under the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act (1979 PA 218) — Michigan has no standalone "assisted living" license, so communities operate as HFA or AFC facilities licensed by LARA/BCHS.
Medicaid: Michigan residents who qualify for facility level of care may be eligible for Michigan's MI Choice Waiver and MI Health Link Medicare-Medicaid dual demonstration. The MI Choice Waiver, administered through regional waiver agencies, can cover personal care and supports usable in an HFA or AFC setting or at home, but it does not pay for HFA/AFC room and board. Not all facilities accept Medicaid — confirm directly with the provider.
