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.

Are all TSA services provided by the agency directly?

Funded services are offered by TSA directly and through local agencies contracted by The Senior Alliance.

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.
