Area senior citizens seeing in-home service reductions
Placeholder Image
Dear Editor,On Wednesday I had my tasty pulled pork lunch at the Great Bend Senior Center.While there I visited with the other seniors and shared information about the budget cuts coming to the Senior Care Act in 2017. Many of our local senior citizens are able to stay in their own homes through in-home programs administered by the South West Kansas Area Agency on Aging (SWKAAA). These in-home services include house cleaning, shopping, cooking, personal care and assistance going to medical appointments.Older Kansans on the Senior Care Act pay towards the cost of their services.
