"I have been by myself for years, hardly getting out. Since I have been coming to your groups, I now play pool, go out on errands, go out to eat, and socialize with people. It has turned my life around." 
- Pam S.
"Right now at age 73, I couldn’t believe how out of shape and unbalanced I am. I never thought I was that bad, but the class has shown me, I am. So thankful for a free program to better my health and get me in better shape. I like the socialization it gives, too!"
- Bonnie H.
"I have been able to sit in a chair easier with no hands because of squat exercises (MoveWell). Like balance by chair exercises."
- Greg W.

Older Americans' Services at Risk

The President has proposed a FY 2026 budget plan to break apart the coordination and delivery of programs and services provided by the Older Americans Act (OAA).

Seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers rely on these services for their health, independence, and wellbeing. These critical services include in-home help with chores, dressing, and bathing; rides to the doctor; home-delivered and community-served meals; caregiver respite, and more.

The budget proposal eliminates several key programs to help older adults remain healthy, prevent falls, manage chronic diseases, navigate Medicare, find aging and disability resources, and stay safe if they are living in nursing homes. The proposal would also eliminate efforts to prevent or address elder abuse. These cuts will affect the programs CareWell Services provides to help seniors, caregivers, and adults with disabilities across southwest Michigan.

The proposed deconstruction of the OAA will severely impact the ability of older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers to get the services and supports they need to maintain their health and independence while living at home and in the community.

Take action to protect vital programs and services for seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers by contacting your representatives!

Get contact information for your representatives online at: house.gov and senate.gov.
