Gov. Bill Ritter signed three bills Tuesday designed to help senior citizens stay in their homes, calling the state’s growing population of elderly a resource to be tapped.
The measures include $3 million in increased funding for in-home services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation and medical services; a $2.1 million increase to the state’s Old Age Pension Fund to increase funding for care providers; and a new Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council to identify care available for the disease.
