Explanation
(This amendment provides $90,000 from the general fund in the second year to Bay Aging to restore funding for services such as adult day health care, meals on wheels, homemaker care, personal care, home repair and transportation services. Recently, Bay Aging reported that 477 elderly persons in the 10-county region served by the agency were unserved or underserved. These long-term care services allow the elderly clients to remain in their homes and prevent institutional placement.)
