Michigan families—from the metro Detroit area to Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Ann Arbor—rely on Thrive at Home Network for aging-in-place support. Whether you’re updating a family home in Flint, arranging caregiver services in Kalamazoo, or exploring accessibility options in Warren or Sterling Heights, our statewide network helps seniors live safely and independently throughout the Great Lakes State.
Michigan’s strong sense of community and affordability are great for seniors, but climate and regional differences present challenges.
Key considerations include:
Long, snowy winters requiring safe heating and slip-resistant surfaces
Aging infrastructure in older urban areas needing home accessibility upgrades
Rural service gaps limiting access to healthcare and caregiver programs
Flood risks in coastal and river regions during spring melt
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Add grab bars, non-slip flooring, and accessible showers to prepare Michigan homes for winter conditions.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Eliminate risks from icy walkways, steep steps, and aging flooring, especially important across Michigan’s seasons.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Prepare for snowstorms, power outages, and spring flooding in lakeside and river communities.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Organize multi-story homes, basements, and garages commonly found throughout Michigan.
In-Home Care Checklist
