About this resource
Bloomfield Township’s Senior Services department provides a thoughtful range of programs for older residents and their caregivers, with a particular strength in supporting people experiencing memory loss. For local families navigating dementia, the township’s offerings deliver both meaningful engagement for the person living with the condition and tangible relief for the caregiver.
Two programs stand out. The Friendship Club is a social-model day program offering “engaging, fail-free and safe programming for older adults experiencing dementia or memory challenges,” meeting Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Companion Café brings together memory-challenged individuals and their caregivers for creative activities, games, music, and entertainment on select Wednesday afternoons — a free, registration-based program that lets caregiver and loved one enjoy time together. A monthly Caregiver Support Group provides education and emotional support specifically for dementia caregivers. The township also offers Meals on Wheels, transportation assistance, grant-funded minor home repairs at no cost to eligible homeowners, a friendly-caller program, and a medical equipment loan closet.
This resource matters because dementia caregiving benefits enormously from structured, local programming — a few hours of safe, stimulating activity can restore a caregiver’s energy and a loved one’s sense of purpose. Caregivers can reach Senior Services at 248-723-3500 for registration or 248-433-7700 generally, and the department is located at 4200 Telegraph Road. For Bloomfield Township families, it is a warm, well-organized local resource.
