Use our Resource Directory to get access to things like meal delivery, caregiving services, in-home help, and more.
This month, we’re celebrating the caregivers, volunteers, partners, and supporters who make our mission possible. Every act of care, every hour of service, and every community partnership strengthens the network that helps older adults and family caregivers live with dignity and independence.
From the meaningful connection offered through ACCESS EXHALE, to the Baldwin Society‘s commitment to supporting underserved older adults, to the practical guidance in our Service Network Guide, this month’s blog highlights the people and programs that make real support possible in our region.
In this episode, Jason Maciejewski, CEO of The Senior Alliance, talks to Michigan State Representative Stephanie Young, who serves the 16th House District. They talk about the biggest challenges in the coming year for older adults, the impacts of the federal budget cuts, and how Michigan is trying to limit the impacts of those cuts. They also discuss the guardianship assistance bill that Representative Young recently introduced, housing affordability, transportation, aging veterans, and how older adults can help advocate and make their voices heard in Lansing. Great information!
