State license

You can look up a facilities license status for Senior Homes, Adult Foster Care Homes, in Michigan at the LARA (Licensing and Regulatory Affairs). Understand however a Home for the Aged or Adult Foster Care Home license may or may not be required, depending on the level of care provided at the facility.
Here is a link to the site:  www.michigan.gov/lara/bureau-list/bchs/adult
Let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks.

Thanks for showing me a website. Once I look at it I may have more qestions.

You mentioned that some homes do not need a license. Why is that and how do I tell if a home i'm looking at is licensed?

The link to the Michigan LARA website has this information. It is searchable also.

Have a look at this page on our website:  Overview of Small to Medium Sized Senior Homes as Licensed in the state of Michigan
 

Thanks.
