It’s a Good Day

May marks an important occasion on our calendar: Older Americans Month.

During this time, we recognize and honor the significant contributions, experiences, and resilience of older adults across the US. It’s a moment to reflect on the wisdom they impart, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the legacy they’ve built.

Here, we explore the significance of Older Americans Month and why it’s an essential time for acknowledgment and appreciation.

Making a Difference: Volunteering with The Senior Alliance

As April is National Volunteer Month, we recognize and appreciate the backbone of The Senior Alliance— our volunteers. Their commitment and dedication are the driving force behind our mission to support older adults in our community.

The world’s population is getting older, with people living longer lives than ever before. This demographic shift, driven by longer life expectancies and declining birth rates, presents both challenges and opportunities related to aging for societies worldwide.

The Senior Alliance is dedicated to championing the rights and well-being of older adults.

Our role includes advocacy—we are a vigilant observer and a vocal participant, actively monitoring, evaluating, and offering insights on a wide array of policies, programs, hearings, and community initiatives that have the potential to impact the lives of aging adults in our community.

Learn more about our advocacy platform and how you can support the initiatives that contribute to make a significant, lasting impact for older adults in Michigan.

In our latest blog, we delve into the specifics of this success, exploring the substantial progress made across various programs, including case management, meal deliveries, health care assistance, and much more. Join us as we reflect on these milestones and celebrate the profound difference we’ve made in the lives of older adults and their families.

1 in 7 older adults in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity. On the holidays when traditional food delivery services are not available, aging adults in our community count on The Senior Alliance to provide a hot meal.

The holiday season is a time of joy, giving, and celebration, but unfortunately, it’s also a time when scammers are more active than ever.

Annual enrollment for Medicare Part D is a critical period from October 15 to December 7, 2023, during which aging adults and their caregivers can make changes to their Medicare plans or explore additional assistance programs to better suit their healthcare needs.
