A state investigator has recommended the closure of an adult foster facility in Jenison after an 83-year-old resident died Oct. 14 just outside the facility.

The facility, named American House Jenison Cherrywood, is geared toward seniors needing memory care or hospice and is supposed to prevent seniors with memory issues from wandering away.

More than 5 hours later after leaving the facility, according to an Ottawa County Sheriff’s deputy, the resident was found dead, face down in the grass just outside of the facility.
