Participants may come as often as they wish, or according to the needs of the participant or their caregiver. Payment is based on a sliding fee scale, and may be paid by Medicaid. Funding for the Clark Care Center comes from a variety of sources, including fee payments, Medicaid, the Bluegrass Agency on Aging, the United Way, Clark County Fiscal Court, the City of Winchester, and private donations from individuals and organizations. Each day at the center is filled with activities to promote socialization, therapy, recreation, and relaxation.
