Isabella County Commission on Aging In-Home Services / Helping Hands

How it works

The In-Home Services page describes a broader set of support services for older adults, with Case Management as the central entry point. Case managers work with older adults over age 60 and their family members, complete a comprehensive assessment, and develop a service plan to arrange needed services through community agencies and organizations.

The page also explains that the Commission on Aging provides several in-home services on a donation basis, including case management, personal care, homemaking, respite care, and caregiver training. For home-hardening purposes, the important emergency-needs item is the Unmet Needs program, which helps with minor home repairs.

The page text you provided does not itself describe a formal “Helping Hands” grant program; the repair assistance explicitly stated on the official page is the Unmet Needs minor home repair help.
