What Michigan requires

Adult Foster Care Facility — Group home / residential care home
  • Your fire and evacuation drill records for the period. Drills at the required frequency: Four fire drills a year, two of them during sleeping hours. Separately the licensee must practice the emergency preparedness plan — including the fire safety plan — at least once a quarter on EACH shift, counted against Michigan's named shifts of 7am–3pm, 3pm–11pm and 11pm–7am. Mich. Admin. Code R 400.601 et seq. (adult foster care)
  • Records going back as far as the rule requires. Records of emergency preparedness plan practices maintained for 2 years. Mich. Admin. Code R 400.601 et seq. (adult foster care)
Michigan Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) — Bureau of Community and Health Systems · checked July 2026
Home for the Aged (HFA) — Assisted living / residential care
  • Named failure modes, not just 'emergency'. Michigan requires a written plan and procedure for fire, explosion, LOSS OF HEAT, loss of power, loss of water, or other emergency. Loss of heat is named separately — a Michigan winter outage is its own scenario, not a footnote to power failure. Mich. Admin. Code R 325.1976

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Michigan fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

Everything else we’ve researched about Michigan

Same state, the problems either side of this one. Each carries its own statute and the date we last checked it.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — Michigan Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) — Bureau of Community and Health Systems and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
