About this resource
The Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Area Agency on Aging (Region 3C) operates an Information and Assistance (I&A) Team that is the free starting point for older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers in this south-central Michigan tri-county region — including those seeking assistive technology and equipment that support safe, independent living.
I&A specialists assess each caller’s needs and connect them to the right services: home-delivered and congregate meals, the MI Choice Medicaid Waiver and MI Options counseling, the Community Living Program for in-home long-term care, caregiver resources through Mi Caregiver Connection, guardianship and legal supports, elder-protection and fraud-awareness services, and devices that improve mobility and safety. By coordinating so many programs through one organization, the agency lets a single contact unlock multiple supports rather than requiring families to track down each one separately.
This resource matters because rural and small-county families often have fewer obvious places to turn, and a knowledgeable I&A team simplifies a daunting search. For caregivers in Branch, Hillsdale, and St. Joseph counties exploring assistive technology or any other form of help, the team is the natural first call. Visit bhsj.org to find phone numbers, locations, and a contact form for the Information and Assistance team and the agency’s full range of aging services.
