Senior Living Week
Senior Living Week is brought to you by the Housing Bureau for Seniors, a program of Community Health Services. The week kicks off with an expo and then is followed by a week long series of educational events.
These events are Washtenaw County’s only “One-Stop-Information Shop” for older adults and caregivers. The series of events are held at senior living communities, which provide an opportunity to visit a type of residence that you may not have otherwise explored. Senior Living Week generally covers topics like health, wellness, elder law planning and more!
