Brain Injury Association of Michigan (BIAMI)

By on July 15, 2012 in Health and Medical, OTHER resources, Resources

BIAMI is statewide.  If you want, you can contact them directly.  Their contact info is:

Brain Injury Association of Michigan
7305 Grand River, Suite 100
Brighton 48114-7379
(810) 229-5880.

In a “previous life” I was a long term care ombudsman.  BIAMI had their own Ombudsman program servicing the brain injured.  They kept us up to date on this horrible malady.  Our liason to BIAMI was one of our K’zoo Ombudsmen, John Weir.  You can ask John who he recommends you talk to, OR you can contact BIAMI directly.

MI Bridges Benefit Applications Client Handout

By on July 6, 2012 in Food, MiCafe, OTHER resources, Resources

Here’s a document to members with the MI Bridges Application. This form allows them to write down and organize their user id, password, secret question/answers and tracking number. Karen and I received this info. in a MI Bridges training session so I wasn’t sure if you all had it or not. I used it this morning and it helped immensely 🙂

Save or Shred?

By on July 6, 2012 in Hoarding, Household, OTHER resources, Resources

A group of WSU students hosted a “Save or Shred” event here at Hannan a couple years ago. The intent was to help seniors determine which documents they could get rid of when organizing their paperwork and then shred them in a safe manner. I have the “how to” manual to lend to anyone interested in working with the co-op to hold a similar event. Below is an easy cheat sheet for helping members figure out which of their items can be disposed of. Members are welcome to bring their files to your office for assistance with organizing and purging. You should, however, let the member be the person who actually inserts their document in the shredder. This is important for two reasons. First, it places the responsibility on the member for choosing to destroy the document. Second, it gives them the satisfaction of shredding the document! Small pleasures in life include shredding…..
