Ottawa County stretches from the Lake Michigan shore at Holland and Grand Haven east to the Grand Rapids suburbs of Jenison, Hudsonville and Allendale. Senior care here clusters in two places: the Lakeshore, where Holland and Grand Haven have several large homes for the aged and continuing-care campuses, and the Georgetown Township side of the county line, where homes carry Jenison or Grandville mailing addresses and families shop them alongside Kent County options.
Ottawa is the one county on this site that sits in a different aging region. Its Area Agency on Aging and MI Choice waiver agent is Senior Resources, based in Muskegon (Region 14), not the Grand Rapids agency that serves the other four counties. PACE is split by ZIP code: LifeCircles-PACE, with a center on James Street in Holland, covers most of the county, while Care Resources covers Jenison (49428), the Grandville ZIP (49418), Marne (49435) and the Standale-area ZIPs.
