Older Michiganians Day
June 24, 2009
On June 24, 2009 hundreds of senior advocates converged on the Capitol Building in Lansing for the statewide Older Michiganians Day.
They rallied to bring attention to the benefits that older citizens bring to Michigan and to advance three overall strategies for the State legislature to adopt.

MULTI YEAR PLAN IN FINAL DRAFT FORM
Region IV Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Board of Directors approved the final draft of the FY2010-12 Multi-Year Plan on Monday, June 15, 2009. The plan will be sent to Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging for State Commission on Aging approval after the three county board of commissioners have approved the plan. In order for the Area Agency on Aging to be designated by the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging as a recipient of Older Americans Act funding, it must prepare a plan for delivering services to Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren County seniors. The plan covers the three-year period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2012, and it will also include the Annual Implementation Plan for FY2010.

What people are saying about us:
Agency on Aging was a tremendous help
As seen in the: 
Dear Editor,
Recently a family member was diagnosed with dementia. Not knowing where to turn or what to do, someone told me about the Area Agency On Aging.
They sent out a book to read that is very helpful on what to expect and things to do and not to do. They then were kind enough to get us in touch with a place to help dispense medicine to make it a little easier. We then needed to get her assessed as to whether she was able to stay where she was or needed assisted living. Again, they came through for us.
I don't know how many people know about this place, but I am telling you, if you need any kind of assistance or just want to ask questions, they will do their best to help get you to the right place.
We are very thankful they are around and can't thank them enough.
