We were so grateful to welcome Jaccie Smith, Senior Care Services Director from the Oceana County Council on Aging to Senior Resources for a recent Dementia Friends presentation for participants, caregivers, family members, and community partners attending our Mi Choice Masters Consumer Quality Collaborative gathering.

Jaccie shared valuable insight on how dementia impacts individuals and families—and, more importantly, how each of us can take simple, meaningful actions to better support those living with dementia.

Thank you, Jaccie, for partnering with us and helping grow a more dementia-friendly community.

As Older Americans Month begins to come to a close, one thing remains clear—our advocacy doesn’t stop here.

Every day, we continue working to ensure older adults in our communities have access to the care and support they need to live safely and independently at home.

Programs like MI Choice show what’s possible: care that preserves independence, supports caregivers, strengthens communities—and does so at a lower cost. It’s a better way forward, and it’s one worth speaking up for.

💬 Your voice matters.

In observance of Memorial Day, Senior Resources will be closed on Monday, May 25th, 2026.

As we honor those who gave their lives in service to our country, we pause to remember the sacrifices made by so many—sacrifices that continue to shape the lives of veterans, families, and communities today.

We are especially mindful of the older adults in our region whose stories, service, and experiences are part of this legacy.

We will reopen May 26th at 8:00 am and look forward to serving you.
