Finding care in Detroit.
Detroit is the seat of Wayne County, founded in 1701, and it has its own Area Agency on Aging. We help families across downtown, Midtown, Corktown, Indian Village, Palmer Park and Rosedale Park.
Michigan does not require a state license for home care agencies, so ask any agency about its insurance, background checks and caregiver training before care starts.
Tell us where in Detroit you are and what you need, and we’ll recommend options that serve your area.
