Ageny on Aging Losing Funding

Agency on Aging Director Heather Ruhkamp informed the Marshall County Board that the umbrella that the Nutrition Site is currently under will be changing to be called Aging and Disability Resource Centers instead Area Agency on Aging Centers which will now combine with Medicaid Services.  This change will put more of the tax burden on the local level as more clients will be served with no additional State funds.  With these changes the County is planning to increase rates and limit services that they are currently offering.
