Area Agency on Aging

The Region 9 Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is one of several divisions within Northeast Michigan Service Agency, Inc. (NEMCSA).

Care Management (CM) offers people options to remain independent and living in their own homes. 

MI Choice is a program that provides an array of Medicaid-covered nursing home services to anyone age 18 or older so that they can remain in their home with the same level of service.

In-Home services are critical in helping Older Adults to continue to live safely in their own homes.  These services provide assistance with activities of daily living for Older Adults who may have difficulty with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and housekeeping. 

Local senior centers are focal points for providing these daily, nutritionally-balanced meals. Meals are offered to adults aged 60 or older on a donation basis. By enjoying a meal at the senior center, you will also have an opportunity to socialize with your neighbors and peers. There are no income guidelines for participation.
