Farmington Hills Senior Support Services

The City of Farmington Hills offers a robust set of Senior Support Services for adults 50 and better, centered at the Costick Activities Center. For local older adults and their caregivers, these municipally run programs provide practical, affordable help that makes daily life easier and keeps seniors connected to their community.

The offerings are notably comprehensive for a city program. A Minor Home Repair service uses volunteers for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and carpentry work, with seasonal help like leaf raking and emergency snow clearing for homeowners 60 and older. An outreach and counseling program assists with housing alternatives, Medicare and Medicaid questions, food assistance, and telephone reassurance for homebound seniors. The Farmington Hills Adult Day Program provides a social and recreational day setting for older adults experiencing functional decline — including those with Alzheimer’s or recovering from a stroke — giving caregivers meaningful respite. The city also hosts eight support groups covering grief, caregiving, Parkinson’s, brain injury, and stroke recovery, plus Meals on Wheels, a daily café, and wheelchair-accessible transportation.

This resource matters because so much of caregiving comes down to logistics and local access, and Farmington Hills bundles these supports for residents at low or subsidized cost. Caregivers can reach the Costick Center at (248) 473-1830 for general inquiries, (248) 473-1872 for the Adult Day Program, or (248) 473-1864 for transportation. For Farmington and Farmington Hills families, it is a valuable, close-to-home network of support.
