Assisted Living Tidbits for Jolene's Country Home

From time to time, we like to post interesting or helpful questions received by facilities. Here is one that we thought covered a lot of issues for Jolene's Country Home that brings up the great question of state certification, and the type of care requested or needed:

*****

Hi, are you state certified? My dad is 72 years old and has a closed head injury. He cannot walk, but can sit in a wheel chair. He has medicare and money from AAA to pay for his care. My son lives right up the road from you with my granddaughter who is also 5 (he works at Cooks dairy Farm). My Dad is currently at mediolodge and we want to move him closer to us. I live in Clarkston. He does occasionally need help with eating, but is very friendly and outgoing. It does take 2 people to move him from a bed to a wheel chair. Is he someone you could help?

How many people are you licensed to have in your care? Female/Male? Do you accept Medicaid?

Q: Looking for an alternative for my 76 year old uncle. He is mobile with some help, has no dementia, history of vertigo and double vision. He is currently in a short term care facility but not sure he can living alone anymore. His only asset his his monthly social security. What are your monthly rates for resident care? Thank you for your time. - Mike
