Find Services

The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging (OSA), in partnership with area agencies on aging (AAAs), providers and other members of the aging network, coordinates a long-term supports and services system that helps older adults live the life that they want in the setting of their choice.

While nursing homes are an important option for older adults, some older adults prefer to stay in their homes in their later years. Michigan's long-term supports and services system provides older adults access to a wide array of programs that allow them to do just that.

A great place to find information about supports and services in your area is by contacting your local AAA. They will be able to discuss your needs and the options that are available to you.

Visit the interactive map to locate your AAA. 

You can also visit OSA's Search for Supports and Services page to find information about supports and services throughout the state.
