What level of care is The Arbor Inn licensed to provide?
The Arbor Inn is licensed as a Home for the Aged, Michigan's license for a supervised personal-care residence of 21 or more residents age 55 and older, under Part 213 of the Public Health Code and the R 325.1901 rule set. LARA does not list Alzheimer's among the populations it serves, so ask how it handles a resident who develops dementia and whether a move would be required.
Who is The Arbor Inn a good fit for, based on its license?
Based only on its LARA record, The Arbor Inn suits residents who do not need a dementia program, since LARA does not list Alzheimer's for it. It may also suit people who want a large community with more staff, activities and dining options under one roof; families who value a long track record, since it has been licensed since 1999.

How much does The Arbor Inn cost?
LARA does not publish rates, so ask The Arbor Inn for its written rate sheet and any care-level fees. For context, assisted living in Metro Detroit typically runs $3,800 to $5,600 per month in 2026.
Paying for it: Michigan's MI Choice Waiver can pay for personal care and supports for eligible residents of a licensed Home for the Aged or AFC home, but it does not pay room and board, and not every community accepts waiver participants. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. Ask both questions on the first call.
How should I evaluate The Arbor Inn?
The license says what a home is allowed to do; the inspection reports show how it has been doing it. Read The Arbor Inn's latest LARA renewal inspection and its special investigation reports, then visit at a mealtime and again unannounced, and ask how staff would handle a resident whose needs change.
