Does someone you know live in a nursing facility, even though that wasn’t their long-term plan? If they are enrolled in or eligible for Medicaid, they may be able to transition back home or into another community living setting!

Community Transition Services (CTS) is a state-funded program that helps eligible individuals move from a nursing facility to home and community-based living options, including:
• A private home or apartment
• The home of a loved one
• Assisted living communities

Every situation is different, but at the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan, we walk alongside individuals and families throughout the transition process. Learn more at https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/doing-business/providers/community-transition-services or call us at (616) 456-5664.

Mark your calendar! Help shape the future of aging services across the region.

Join us virtually for a Multi-Year Plan Public Hearing on Monday, June 15, at 9:00 am to learn more about regional priorities and share your perspective on the needs facing older adults and caregivers.

During the public hearing, we hope to hear directly from community members about challenges, gaps in services, barriers to support, and opportunities that should help guide aging services over the next 3 years.

To learn more and register for the virtual public hearing, visit www.aaawm.org/myp. We look forward to seeing you there!
