The mission of Hannan Center is to preserve the dignity and enhance the quality of life for seniors in Michigan. In 1925, Luella Hannan founded the Luella Hannan Memorial Foundation to serve aged persons in Detroit. In 2017, the Hannan Foundation established a separate 501©3 nonprofit organization, Hannan Center, to house the programs of the Foundation. Today, over 94 years after its founding, Hannan’s reach extends to the tri-county area ensuring that seniors are respected, valued, empowered, and connected to a community of their choice. Through lifelong learning opportunities (Beyond U) and service coordination/casemanagement, Hannan assists older adults with their social, medical, financial, and housing needs.

Welcome to Hannan Center!
