AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services

Mission: To enhance the lives of older adults and adults with disabilities in the communities we serve.

Originally established in 1974 as the Area Agency on Aging 1-B, AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization with a rich history of supporting older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers in southeast Michigan. We are part of a national network of Area Agencies on Aging and a leader in aging services. We serve as the Area Agency on Aging for a six-county region that includes Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair and Washtenaw counties.

What we do is simple. We help people access the services and programs they need to remain living independently and with dignity in their own home or with family caregivers. We offer many services directly, while also partnering with other community organizations in the delivery of senior services. Together with our community partners, we help build a strong local network of supports, resources and services for older adults in our region.

Programs and services we can help people access include:

• Information and Assistance Telephone Line to help people find local resources
• Meals on Wheels to ensure homebound seniors have a hot meal and friendly visits from volunteers
• Direct Home Care Services and care coordination to help when seniors are having trouble caring for themselves
• Adult Day Services
• Medicare Medicaid Assistance to help beneficiaries troubleshoot problems and understand their options
• Chore Services to help seniors maintain their homes
• Home Injury control programs to help make seniors’ homes safe
• Advocacy to help make sure seniors’ voices are heard
• Transportation Assistance
• Legal services
• Services and support for grandparents raising grandchildren
• Health and Wellness classes to help older adults stay healthy
