Input needed on area plan

Senior Resources of West Michigan is working on its next 3-year area plan for 2020-2022. As part of that work, community forums are scheduled throughout the region to gain input from older adults on service gaps and community needs. 

Several sessions are offered in Muskegon, Oceana and Ottawa counties. For more information, contact Amy Florea at 231-733-3519.

If you can't attend a community forum but would like to offer input, please complete this short survey:

Upcoming Dementia Friends sessions

People with dementia sometimes need help going about their daily lives and to feel included in their communities. To assist with this, Dementia Friends works to give people an understanding of dementia, and the small things they can do to make a difference. 

As mentioned in last month's Sixty Seconds, there are monthly Dementia Friends sessions offered in Muskegon, at Tanglewood Park, 560 Seminole Road, Norton Shores:
  • March 13, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
  • April 19, 9-10 a.m.
  • May 9, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
You can register for these, or future sessions:  https://www.eventbrite.com/d/mi--muskegon/dementia-friends/.
