The Hamilton County Senior Services Levy expires at the end of 2012. We anticipate county commissioners will place the levy on the ballot for Election Day, November 6, 2012. Many frail seniors could not remain in their homes without the services provided by this levy. We all have friends, neighbors, even our own parents and grandparents, who need this help.
Join the cause and on November 6, Vote Yes!
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 7,000 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 nearly 90% 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 levy raised $21 million in 2011. The annual cost to homeowners is approximately $29.32 per $100,000 of valuation - or about $2.44 a month. That's a little money doing a lot of good!
