NORWICH – Chenango County Area Agency on Aging adult day care centers in Norwich and Greene will close Nov. 14 after 14 years of service.
According to AAA’s Director Debra Sanderson, few seniors were availing themselves of the care offered, but those who did will be referred to other agency programs and county care providers.
Three part-time workers will lose their jobs. The cut will save Chenango County $30,000 per year and help trim the agency’s projected $1 million budget for 2009.
Prior to stamping their approval of the department’s plans for next year, members of the Finance Committee agreed to spend $8,000 on the purchase of 10 new Lifeline devices. The agency replaced 40 outdated devices last year.
