The Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Implementation Plan will impact seniors and their caregivers, according to Kandi Lannen, Acting Executive Director at the Area Agency of Aging of Northwest Michigan. The plan includes services like information and assistance, care management, and senior nutrition programs, prioritizing those with the greatest social and economic needs. A public input meeting in April will allow family and friends of residents to provide feedback to shape the services to better meet specific needs. Lannen emphasizes that community input is essential to ensuring services are effective, accessible, and address real challenges, with the goal of providing support for optimal quality of life. The meeting can be attended in person at the Traverse City Senior Center or online, with the details available at https://www.aaanm.org/planning/. The hearing is scheduled for April 16 at 10:30 A.M., offering an opportunity for stakeholders to have a say in the development of services for the elderly and their caregivers.
