Senior Resources of West Michigan Information and Assistance Team

Senior Resources of West Michigan, the Area Agency on Aging for Region 14, offers care management and Information and Assistance services that help families in the West Michigan lakeshore region coordinate the support a loved one needs to remain safely at home. Care management gives families a professional to assess needs, build a plan, and arrange and monitor services on their behalf.

Through its free Information and Assistance team, families can access care coordination along with the agency’s broader services — the MI Choice Medicaid Waiver, personal care and homemaking, nutrition, respite, and caregiver support. As the designated regional Area Agency on Aging, Senior Resources knows the local providers and programs and can match families to them efficiently, with a care manager assembling and adjusting the right mix of supports as a loved one’s needs change. A single contact opens the door to a coordinated plan rather than a fragmented, do-it-yourself effort.

This resource matters because coordinating a loved one’s care is a demanding, ongoing job that overwhelms many families, and professional care management lifts that burden while helping keep a loved one at home. Many caregivers don’t realize this level of coordinated support is available. For families in the West Michigan lakeshore region seeking help managing care, Senior Resources is the natural starting point. Learn more and connect with staff at seniorresourceswmi.org.
