Frequently Asked Questions

Fitness

Is there an age requirement for the fitness classes?

We do not have an age requirement unless noted. Our focus is for adults 55+ but it is not a requirement to take a class at our Wellness Center. The exception to that is if a class is paid for by the Muskegon County Senior Millage but we will advertise that class as specifically for those 60 years or better.

How much do Meals on Wheels cost?

To be eligible for Meals on Wheels provided by AgeWell Services, you’ll need to be 60 or over, homebound, and living in Oceana, Ottawa, or Muskegon counties.

A preliminary assessment will determine eligibility and your suggested donation amount based upon your self-reported income. You will receive a monthly contribution statement based upon how many meals you receive that month and your determined suggested donation amount. This is a donation and it is optional, however, donations do play a crucial role in assisting the program with serving all participants who need meals. Suggested donations are typically a $4.50-$8.00 range. Any and all amounts will be appreciated.

AgeWell Services assists any age needing homebound meals. For those under 60, there is a minimum cost of $10.00 per meal.
