•    Raise awareness that individuals on wait lists for extended periods of time are:

o    More likely to end up living in a nursing home

o    Less likely to remain living in their own home

o    More likely to seek health care from a hospital emergency room

o    More likely to die waiting for assistance.

•    Support the effort to make Michigan a no wait state for in-home services starting with a $5 million increase for the fiscal year 2015 and a total of $10 million by fiscal year 2018.

Silver Key Lapel Pin Ordering Information

The vast majority of seniors hope to remain living in their own homes as they age.  As such, the Coalition selected the silver key as the symbol for this campaign because having a key means having your own home and in-home services are the key to making aging in place a reality for thousands of Michigan’s seniors. The key stands for independence and we are asking Michigan’s legislature to unlock these important services for Michigan’s seniors.

You can show your support by wearing the silver key lapel pin proudly. Below is the ordering information for the Silver Key Lapel Pins used in the Silver Key Coalition in-home services campaign.

Please consider ordering a pin for yourself, your staff, board members and advisory council members so they can show their support for making Michigan a No Wait State for senior in-home services.

Shipping is expedient. Most orders will ship within 24-48 hours. We ordered ours on a Friday and had them the following Tuesday.
