Department of Health and Human Services offers tips to develop ties and relationships with elderly
        LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) joins the federal Administration for Community Living in observing May nationally and in Michigan as Older Americans Month (OAM) to recognize and honor older adults and their influence and impact. This year's theme, "Powered by Connection,” emphasizes the profound impact of meaningful interactions and social connections on the well-being and health of older adults in our communities.

More than 25 per cent&nbsp;of Michigan’s population is age 60 or older. Michigan will continue to see increases in this population for the next several decades and will also continue to see people living longer. Seeking opportunities to remain active and engaged is one way to foster healthy aging, especially as most older adults wish to live independently in their homes and communities.

“MDHHS is proud to work collaboratively with our aging network partners to ensure that older Michigan residents have the resources and supports needed to stay healthy, active and engaged in their communities,” said Elizabeth Hertel, director. “Through evidence-based health and wellness workshops, nutrition supports such as home-delivered meals and congregate dining sites and senior employment and volunteer opportunities, area agencies on aging and their local providers promote inclusivity and connectedness which contribute to physical and mental health across generations.”

How can community groups, businesses and organizations mark OAM?



What can individuals do to connect?



Older adults are invited to contact their area agencies on aging to explore local events and activities available in their areas, and to learn more about home and community-based services that are available to help older adults remain living independently.

For more information on aging services, please visit Michigan.gov/BPHASA.
