Client Stories

Margie

Margie remains at her home in Sabina with the help of her daughter, Kim, other family members, and the Clinton County Elderly Services Program. Care Manager Brenda, standing, right, in photo, visits several times a year to make sure Margie has the right services in the right amounts, as her needs change. Because most people who enter nursing homes deplete their savings and go onto Medicaid, it's a saving to taxpayers to help seniors like Margie remain in their homes.
