What is the caregiver-to-resident ratio at Memory Lane?

1 caregiver per 3 residents during the day, and 1 per 6 at night. Most facilities run 1:10 by day and 1:24 by night — Memory Lane is more than double the staffing of typical memory care.

Do I need previous dementia care experience to apply?

No. We hire for character first and train for skill. Every new caregiver receives full skills orientation and dementia training during onboarding, plus required ongoing monthly training.

Is Memory Lane a Michigan AFC-licensed employer?

Yes. Memory Lane is a Michigan-licensed Adult Foster Care (AFC) home, which means caregivers work under a regulated framework with clear training requirements and resident-rights standards set by the state.
