What We Do
The Detroit Area Agency on Aging
(DAAA) is a nonprofit organization that provides services and programs
to seniors, adults with disabilities and caregivers living in Detroit,
Hamtramck, Harper Woods, Highland Park and the five Grosse Pointes.
DAAA's primary programs include Long-Term Care Services, Mature Workers
Job Training and Employment, Medicare-Medicaid Assistance Program
(MMAP), Long Term Care Ombudsman, Nutrition Services, Healthy Aging and
resources for families.
DAAA also creates change by conducting
research, developing effective policies, and makes policy
recommendations at the federal, state and local levels that directly
impact the people the organization serves. This research includes the
"Dying Before Their Time" report, which revealed the alarming rate of
premature deaths of Detroit area seniors associated with poor access to
care. In 2011 DAAA developed the Nursing Facility Enhancement Project to
provide up-to-date analysis of long-term health care facilities in
Detroit.
