Alzheimer’s Programs Cut in California — Call Governor to Stop
Funding for programs desperately needed
by many families living with Alzheimer’s has
already been reduced by the California
legislature.
The Senate and Assembly will vote on the
state budget in the next few days. The budget
will then go to the Governor for his signature
(probably by June 30).
Governor Schwarzenegger has the power to
drastically reduce funding for programs when
he signs the budget. We must tell him that
additional cuts to these programs will make it
impossible for many families to keep caring for
their loved ones at home.
Please call the Governor now. 1-866-459-9232.
Tell him:
Do not further reduce funding for the Alzheimer’s Day Care Resource Centers, Caregiver Resource Centers, Alzheimer’s Research Centers, Adult Day Health Care, Multi-Service Senior Programs (MSSP) or In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS).
Programs for families living with Alzheimer’s have been cut 30-50% by the Budget Conference Committee.
| Don’t forget: Call 1-866-459-9232 by June 30 between 9am – 5pm. The phone line is closed over the weekend. |
