More fun from #senioractionweek.
Thank you to Wayne County Commissioner Cara Clemente for proposing a resolution to declare May 1st Older Michiganians Day in the county.
Last week was Michigan #senioractionweek and many legislators in our service area showed support.
Thank you to @SenPolehanki & @StateRepSteph for sponsoring our Older Michiganians Day resolution.
Thank you to those that hung signs @JasonMorganMI, @StateRepSteph, & Rep. Byrnes.
Thank you to @StateRepSteph, @StateRepTCarter, and other Michigan policy makers for participating in Older Michiganians Day last week on the Capitol lawn. This event recognized the contributions of older Michiganians to our MI communities and highlighted the following ask.
1) The addition of 33 new employees in the MI Long Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO) program at a cost of $3 million.
2) An expansion of supports for family caregivers, including the Caring for my Family tax credit proposed by @GovWhitmer.
3) Another $1 million to end the statewide waitlist for #mealsonwheels and $7 million to address the in-home care waitlist.
4) More support for the MI Choice Waiver program, including a rate increase for Waiver agents and the rebalancing of HCBS and institutional care.
#michigansenioractionweek is quickly approaching and we need YOU to help us advocate for the older adults in our community. By signing the attached petition, you can help make our seasoned Michiganians a priority this fiscal year.

.@theUSAging’s top policy priority is the reauthorization of #OlderAmericansAct! #AreaAgenciesonAging are THE local leaders that plan, develop and coordinate ALL OAA programs and services and provide important oversight of their community providers. usaging.org/OAA

Thank you @darrincamilleri and @Jaime_Churches for your work to lower prescription drug prices in Michigan! Thousands of older adults in our state skip taking their medications because they can’t afford them, and we appreciate any efforts to help relieve this cost burden.

Michiganders caring for an aging or sick loved one deserve our support. That’s why I’m calling for a new caregivers tax credit that could save thousands of families up to $5,000 on their taxes.
Let’s get this done!
