LANSING – Seniors
in the state will have easier access to information about services in their
area through a new website launched Monday by the Department of Health and
Human Services Aging and Adult Services Agency.
Among other
services, the site lists contact information for area agencies on aging by
county as well as other public agencies in each county that could provide
services.
Visitors can
also find information sorted by the type of assistance needed.
“The
state, in partnership with local aging agencies and service providers, offers
numerous high-quality programs and services that can help older adults maintain
their independence as they age,” AASA Director Kari Sederburg said.
“The state’s new aging website was developed to be the best place to go to
quickly find out what types of services are available, and which agency you
need to call to see if you qualify.”
Rick Snyder had called for development of the new site in his special
message on aging in 2014. You can find the site at http://www.michigan.gov/aging
