Legacy Health senior care funding

Called the senior care program marvelous but criticized reliance on one-time printed ARPA money and urged a sustainable funding structure where everyone contributes.

A family practice physician said the program has made a huge difference and could name five families right now who stayed in their homes because of it.

Supported the program, shared her family's long-term care experience, suggested a senior-to-senior phone check-in program, and raised concerns about older men at WeCare needing housing.

A licensed clinical social worker said in-home supportive services reduce strain on county crisis systems, loneliness and suicide rates, and urged the council to fund it.
