Detroit Area Agency on Aging 1A Information and Assistance Team

The Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA), serving Region 1-A, operates an Information and Assistance call center that functions as a resource hub connecting seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers to the help they need — including assistive technology and equipment that support safe, independent living. Established in 1980, DAAA describes itself as your “Senior Solution,” advocating for the well-being of the community’s most vulnerable residents.

The I&A call center provides referrals to support programs, caregiver support information, elder-abuse resources, nutrition and wellness connections, and long-term-care guidance. Beyond information and assistance, DAAA offers nutrition programs (Meals on Wheels and congregate meals), health and wellness initiatives, long-term-care coordination, and employment programs for seniors. By starting with a single call, families can be guided to the specific services that fit their situation rather than navigating a fragmented system alone. DAAA serves Detroit, the five Grosse Pointes, Hamtramck, Harper Woods, and Highland Park.

This resource matters because urban caregivers face their own mix of challenges — cost, transportation, and finding trustworthy help — and a knowledgeable local hub makes the search far easier. For families in the Detroit region exploring assistive technology or any other support, the I&A call center is the natural first contact. Reach DAAA at (313) 446-4444 or visit 1333 Brewery Park Blvd., Suite 200, Detroit.
