State trims meals and aging budgets sparking concern
Kansas agencies face 3.9 percent cuts across nutrition and aging programs. Mid-America Nutrition Program fears reduced funding will endanger seniors who rely on meals. Senor Care Act services may see waiting lists grow as 600 slots are left unfilled. Nursing home Medicaid funds drop, risking delays and higher private costs. Local providers warn against shifting costs to families while preserving essential home and congregate meal services.
