Funds cut Nursing homes to get less aid? United Press International AUSTIN — State officials Thurs day revealed a plan to cut state pay ments to nursing homes for care of the elderly and instead provide in- home services to old people who do not need 24-hour care for medical reasons. Department of Human Resources officials said the changes would not affect individuals already in nursing homes, but would apply to indi viduals seeking state aid under Medicaid in the future. Dr. Emmett Greif, deputy com missioner for DHR’s medical prog rams, said the state agency is propos ing elimination of the lower of two intermediate levels of care in nurs ing homes for those under Medicaid. Greif noted the Legislature has conducted hearings on alternative care arrangements and urged the state agency to investigate ways to allow older people to stay in their own homes as long as possible. “Neither the Legislature nor DHR is anti-nursing home,” Greif said. “What is being proposed are new programs which include nursing home care, but also provide alterna tives.” Alternate, in-home care includes chore services such as house clean ing, meal prepartion, dish washing or shopping. Greif said programs such as Meals-on-Wheels that deliver warm meals to home-bound individuals Amigoman logo to go commercial United Press International EL PASO — Amigoman, the internationally known symbol of this bicultural city, is going commercial. The city has decided to begin offering a new line of merchandise to retailers inscribed with Amigoman—a smiling sun wearing a Mexican sombrero and cowboy boots. The logo represents the blending of cultures of Mexico and the Western United States. Robert L. Knight, acting director of the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, said the city intends to offer the Amigoman logo on “T-shirts, bowling balls, anything that will sell.” In addition, Knight said Amigoman pins and patches, long popular with conventioneers, will begin bearing the name of El Paso and a registered trademark symbol. are a consideration. Another alternative, he sug gested, might k>e adult day centers where elderly individuals could stay while younger relatives are at work. Also under consideration, he said, are group living arrangements that would enable a group of elderly peo ple to live together and share costs of food, housing, janitorial services and perhaps a live-in attendant. The difference in cost to the state is dramatic, he said. “It costs an average of $518 per month per patient for Medicaid care in a nursing home. The average monthly cost of caring for a recipient in his own home is $134, because 24-hour nursing care is not involved and may not be necessary,” he said. STORAGE I U - LOCK - IT ■ 10 x 20 - $25 693-2339 Family saved by paper carrier United Press International HOUSTON — Dave Nagel credits the man who delivers his morn ing newspaper <vith waking him and his sleeping family and rescuing them from their burning home. “We might still be sleeping if it wasn’t for this man, ” Nagel said after Randall Harling banged on windows and doors to wake the family after he saw smoke from a roof vent and then a flash inside the house. Harling, 25, was on his route when he discovered the fire early Wednesday morning. He stopped to wake the family, woke the neigh borhood in the process and then called the fire department. With the family awakened, Harling then called the fire department. “Had the alarm been delayed just a few minutes, the roof would have busted through and embers would’ve spread with the wind onto the wood shingles of other houses,” District 18 Fire Chief Rubin Puckett said.
