The Elderly Services Program provides cost-effective, compassionate care for Butler County's older adults...and their families.

---

Each year, the Butler County Elderly Services Program (ESP) helps more than 4,100 older adults with disabilities remain in their own homes with independence and dignity. It provides services such as home-delivered meals, help with homemaking and personal care, and transportation. It prevents unnecessary nursing home placement and it helps families who are struggling to manage the responsibilities of caring for an older loved one.

ESP is funded by a property tax levy that has been supported by Butler County voters for nearly 25 years. Without the levy, ESP would not exist and there is no replacement.

It costs an average $295 per month to help a senior on the Elderly Services Program. If that same person were in a nursing home on Medicaid, it would cost taxpayers 20 times that much – more than $6,000 a month. 

​This November, Butler County voters will be asked to renew the current senior services levy which funds ESP. The levy will not increase taxes, but is the same amount homeowners pay now – $39.81 annually per $100,000 in property value. Click here to learn more about ESP and why it is so important to the Butler County community.
