All Senior Resources

Beyond finding a community, Detroit Senior Advisor points Detroit-area families to the free and low-cost resources that help an older adult stay safe and supported — whether they're aging at home or planning a move. Here's where to start across Southeast Michigan.

Core resources for Southeast Michigan seniors

• Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA): free options counseling, benefits screening, and caregiver support for Detroit, Hamtramck, Highland Park, Harper Woods, and the Grosse Pointes. The Area Agency on Aging 1-B serves Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston, Monroe, and St. Clair counties; The Senior Alliance (AAA 1-C) serves southern and western Wayne County; and Michigan 2-1-1 connects families statewide.
• Michigan MI Choice Waiver & MI Health Link: long-term care coverage for eligible seniors — see our Michigan senior care hub.
• Veterans benefits: VA Aid & Attendance and the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center; VA Caregiver Support Line 1-855-260-3274.
• Meals, transportation & senior centers: Meals on Wheels, non-emergency medical transport, and community senior centers throughout the metro.
• Verify a license: check any facility's LARA record on the LARA Adult Foster Care & Homes for the Aged licensing search (michigan.gov/LARA) before you tour.
