December 12, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Pete Nowakowski, Marketing & Communications Director, BRAG Ann Arbor, Barbara Niess-May, President/CEO, MPA, MSW of Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels and Bridget Daly, Occupational Therapist, Certified-Aging-in-Place Specialist for Around The Home. The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor, through its Bragg Ann Arbor Foundation, collaborates with Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels to support community initiatives. This partnership has funded projects like building a ramp for a person in need. Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels, led by CEO Barbara Niess-May, extends beyond food delivery to address broader needs such as wellness checks and case management, especially for low-income individuals. Their Care on Wheels program offers occupational therapy services that help seniors age in place, addressing challenges like mobility and personal hygiene. An example of success is the installation of a ramp for a client, which significantly improved his independence.
