| Michigan Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (866) 485-9393 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an advocate for seniors living in Dearborn's residential care facilities. Residents who can't resolve disputes with the owners and managers of their facilities can call on the support of the ombudsman, who will investigate their complaints and pursue a satisfactory solution. The ombudsman also investigates complaints made by others, except complaints that suggest criminal behavior, such as elder abuse, which are passed on to the proper authorities. |
| John D. Dingell VA Medical Center | (313) 576-1000 | Located only 15 minutes from Dearborn in Detroit, the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center supports U.S. military veterans and their families. It provides many medical services, including primary care and assistance for seniors who can be treated by neurologists, obstetricians, dermatologists and podiatrists. It also provides mental health and social work services, in addition to working with vets suffering from military sexual trauma. |
| Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) | (248) 537-3300 | RSVP is managed locally by the Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan. Adults aged 55 and over are welcome to offer as much time as they can spare to help nonprofit organizations and agencies that support the community. RSVP matches seniors with specific life and work skills with suitable organizations, which may include mentoring younger citizens of Dearborn or roles that require the volunteer to be trained. |

It's the place to go for seniors who want information about various benefits, including Medicare and Medicaid. The agency can also support caregivers and help seniors plan for their long-term care. Where it doesn't offer direct support, it refers seniors to local nonprofits who can help, such as attorneys who specialize in elder services and don't charge for consultations. |
