"Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature."--Harold Coffin

The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging is your state resource for information on aging in Michigan. If you're an older adult, family member, or caregiver, here you can easily find and be referred to community programs available in your local area. Information to help people age successfully is also at your finger tips. If you work with or for older adults, you will find up-to-date information to help keep you professionally informed.

217,603 Michigan seniors received access, caregiver,
community, in-home, and nutrition services during 2008.
