Every day, caregivers provide vital support to aging adults and adults living with disabilities. Whether they are family members, friends, or professionals, caregivers offer physical, emotional, and practical help that allows loved ones to live with dignity and independence.
But who listens to the caregivers?
The Senior Alliance believes your voice matters. That’s why we invite caregivers to help shape the future of local aging services through the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP).
The AIP is an annual roadmap created by The Senior Alliance, the Area Agency on Aging for southern and western Wayne County. It outlines funding priorities, goals, and service improvements for programs that support older adults and caregivers.
The AIP helps determine how resources are allocated to services like:

When caregivers speak, communities grow stronger.
We invite all caregivers to participate in our upcoming AIP public hearings:

“Caregivers play a crucial role in shaping our aging services. Your experiences and feedback help us build a stronger, more responsive support system for seniors and their families. We encourage all caregivers to take advantage of this opportunity to make their voices heard.”
This is a real opportunity to help improve the services you and your loved ones rely on. Whether you attend a hearing, submit a comment, or simply share this information with someone who needs it—your participation matters.

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. While many of us eagerly anticipate festive gatherings and cheerful moments, it’s crucial to remember that not everyone experiences the holidays with the same level of enthusiasm.
