Options Money Giving Seniors Options

Last updated on Monday, January 29, 2007

(UNDATED) - Indiana is getting millions of dollars from the federal government to help pay for long-term care for senior citizens not living in nursing homes.

The state will get a $21-million federal grant over five years to pay for home health care, assisted living, and other services for seniors.

The money is coming through a program called "Options" which offers seniors alternatives to traditional nursing homes.
