June is Pride Month—a reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and connected at every stage of life. 🌈

We’re glad to share this upcoming Golden Years Lunch Date through Muskegon Pride—a chance for LGBTQ+ adults 55+ to come together over lunch, conversation, and community in a welcoming space.

🗓 June 17
⏰ 12:30 pm
📍 Seven Nine Four Kitchen & Bar, Muskegon

If you or someone you know is looking for connection, this could be a comfortable place to spend time with others. Opportunities like this matter—because no one should feel isolated as they age.

RSVP with Dennis Hasley at [email protected]

Meet our Options Counselor Team at Senior Resources!

These are the people on the other end of the phone when you call us. They listen to your questions, talk through your situation, and help you understand what services and supports are available.

Our Options Counselors work with:

• Adults age 60+
• Adults age 65+ or age 18–64 with a certified disability (for MI Choice Waiver)
• Individuals who need help with daily living tasks to remain independent
• Residents of Muskegon, Oceana, and Ottawa counties

When you reach out, they guide you through the process:

• Start with a phone call or secure referral
• Complete an initial care review
• Gather basic information (such as address, medical needs, and income)
• Review eligibility and available programs
• Schedule an assessment if appropriate

From that first call to next steps, they help connect people to the resources that support independence at home.

📞 231-733-3585

Reach out and tell us your story—we’re here to help.

More older adults are struggling to make ends meet—and too many are missing out on benefits that could help.

We hear it every day: confusion about eligibility, questions about the process, and even hesitation to apply.

But these programs are there for you. Accessing support doesn’t take away from someone else—it ensures resources meant for older adults are actually used.

If you have questions, we’re here to help. 231-733-3585

Lack of awareness, social stigma, application struggles and eligibility concerns prevent people from getting benefits

We see firsthand how much mobility matters.

At Senior Resources, we’ve had the opportunity to connect older adults and caregivers with Re New Mobility—and we’ve seen the difference it makes. The right equipment at the right time can mean safety, independence, and peace of mind.

We’re proud to support the important work they’re doing across West Michigan. If you’re able, consider joining us in supporting Renew Mobility and the thousands of people who rely on them every year. Thank you.
