The funding will go to expand on-site personal support and homemaking services for seniors and people who are physically challenged. "This $201,100 expansion will give more people in Huron a high level support in their residences," Mr. Klopp said. "This money will mean that people who would otherwise have to go to a nursing home because of special needs will be able to stay at home. This is better for the individual and better for the taxpayer. This type of support will cost less than half what a nursing home bed would cost." Mr. Klopp said he was pleased that Town & Country Homemakers have received the grant. It allows them to provide a more intensive service beyond the excellent services which they provide already.
