关于我们
Many people are afraid of losing their independence as they age. At Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (AAAWM), we believe that every senior should be able to remain happy, healthy, and at home. Our comprehensive services aim to provide older persons and persons with disabilities the independence and dignity they strive for while residing in an environment that is comfortable to them. Who We Are and What We Do Established in April of 1974, the AAAWM has helped countless adults live more productive lives by providing the tools and services needed to maintain independence. We are a non-profit organization that provides aging services, as well as information and assistance. We plan, develop, oversee, and advocate for in-home senior care services to older adults, especially those with social and economic needs. Collaboration between nurses and social workers results in valuable in-home care plans that aim to keep seniors in their homes as they age. All services are provided with funding from local, state, and federal sources.

Beginning October 1, 2024 RideLink will be increasing the requested fee for service from $2.00 per trip to $3.00 per trip. Transportation and service costs have continued to rise over the past few years and those costs are the reason for this adjustment. All our RideLink partners, in conjunction with the Kent County Senior Millage, continue to strive to keep this transportation service affordable to older adults in Kent County and appreciate any and all contributions towards your rides.
