Background
|
|
|
Since December 17, 1985, your Board has approved resolutions authorizing expenditures for residential care facilities serving mentally ill clients.
|
|
|
Consistent with the Mental Health Services Division Plan, contracts are offered to any qualified provider for these residential services. As required in this process, a public notice will be published every year to solicit applications for new providers.

Discussion
|
This contractor operates a 10-bed board and care facility for difficult to place clients. This contractor provides two (2) levels of service, the Step Down Service Level and the Augmented Service Level. Clients at the Step Down Service Level are generally more independent and stable, requiring lower levels of supervision and less intensive services. The Augmented Service Level is for seriously mentally ill clients who require a higher level of supervision and services including more intensive mental health services, social skills training and assistance with activities of daily living.
