Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Program funds in-home and community-based services for seniors, including: Meals on Wheels, Congregate Dining, Adult Day Care, In-Home Health Care, and transportation. Each of these services alleviates the need for more costly placement in institutions such as nursing homes. As a result of the redistribution of federal funds in 1987, Planning & Services Area 5 (including Pasco & Pinellas) has lost $1,251,033 of its federal funding for critically-needed programs for seniors. This request fills that deficit. |
