City Council - Jan 13, 2026
Legacy Health's program helps about 69 frail, mostly middle-income seniors stay out of nursing homes with in-home care, meals and rides — at roughly $1,400 a month versus $8,000-$13,000 for a facility. The council wants more numbers before deciding on a final $300,000 of COVID relief money on January 27.
