Published every other week until mid-September, hard copies of the newsletters will be available at the WSU Farmers Market and at midtown senior centers, Woodbridge Manor, Brush Park Manor, Warren Plaza, and Hannan House. An electronic copy is attached for your reading pleasure–it includes interesting information on two market favorites and also a great market recipe!

Golden Supports Club for Downriver Communities

By on June 1, 2013 in OTHER resources, Resources

See attached flyer on The Information Center’s Golden Supports Club for Downriver Communities.

Additional information provided by Maryanette:

David Wilson the Director of the Golden Supports Club did call back.  He stated the program is connected with the MiChoice Waiver Service and is for those who are not medicaid eligible and have to pay out of their own pockets.  They work with provider to decrease the amount or cost of a service.  They provide an on-going-coupon discount for the term of their membership which is an annual membership. He did not say if there was a membership fee (note: flyer indicates $200). When I asked about assessing the services of their providers he answered that they provide the member with a Directory of  Providers enrolled in the network.  They are not involved in selecting a provider.  The provider will bill the member, the member will get bills as normal and will be responsible for making sure they receive the discount.  For further clarification you can contact David Wilson.  He can be reached at his direct number which is (734) 287-7818.
