Who is eligible to receive services from The
Senior Alliance?
Persons age 60 and over who reside
in Southern and Western Wayne County are eligible for most
services funded by The Senior Alliance. For the MI Choice program,
individuals have to be 18 and older and meet the functional and
financial requirements to qualify. For some services, an in-home
assessment is required to ensure that the person is in need of
assistance. For the employment program, eligible persons have to
be age 55 and older and meet the income requirements.

Is there an income test for eligibility?
There is no income or assets test
required to qualify for services funded by The Senior Alliance,
except for the MI Choice(income/assets limits) and the Title V
employment program (income limits). Priority for TSA funded
services will be given to older persons who appear to be in the
greatest social or economic need.

How much will I have to pay for services?
There are no fees charged for
services. In place of a fee, the service provider will request
donations from recipients. Cost sharing arrangements may be used
for some services.

How do I arrange for services?
For Personal Care, Homemaker,
Respite Care and MI Choice services, seniors and their caregivers
should contact The Senior Alliance directly to start the intake
and qualification screening process. In this directory, there is
contact information listed after each program, so you will know
whether to call TSA, one of the TSA Contracted Service
Providers, or another community agency. Potential service
recipients may also receive a variety of services by making
their own private pay arrangements.
The TSA Information & Assistance Department specialists are
available to discuss your specific circumstances and explain TSA
services, housing alternatives, and other eldercare resource
options.
