A renewal levy for senior services will be on the ballot in Hamilton County November 6 as Issue 50. To remain independent in their homes, many frail seniors need services like Meals on Wheels and transportation. With this help, they avoid unnecessary placement in nursing homes. We all have friends, neighbors - even our own parents and grandparents - who dearly want to remain in their homes. The levy is a renewal and will not increase your taxes.
Join the cause and on November 6, Vote FOR Issue 50!
Preserve Independence and Dignity
Hamilton County’s Elderly Services levy helps elderly family members and neighbors remain in their own homes. Your support for basic services such as Meals on Wheels and transportation can make the difference between a senior being able to live at home or having to move to a nursing facility. The program helps more than 7,200 older adults a year.
Save Money on Vital Services
Once in a nursing home, most people quickly deplete their savings. They enroll in Medicaid at a cost to taxpayers that is as much as 12 times the cost of in-home care. (Average $4,137/month for nursing home vs. $349 /month for Hamilton County Elderly Services Program)
Supported by Taxpayers of Hamilton County
The Senior Services levy funds 93% of the cost of the program. Without the levy, ESP would end. There is no other local substitute. Hamilton County voters have shown strong support for this local program and last approved a 1.29-mill levy in November 2007. The annual cost to homeowners is $29.34 per $100,000 of valuation - or about $2.44 a month. That's a little money doing a lot of good!
