BACKGROUND:
|
Fiscal Year 2010-11 is the second year of a four-year planning cycle for Older Americans Act (OAA) and Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) funding. In 2008 the Commission on Aging approved issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for provision of services to older adults and adults with disabilities for the term of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013. Aging and Adult Services (AAS) contracted with 25 of the 26 providers that submitted proposals for services through the first year of this RFP.
|
|
|
This year 23 of the original 25 providers are able to provide services funded with a combination of federal, state, and county dollars, along with contributions from providers, the individuals served, the community, and other grants. Federal and state funding is provided through agreements with the California Department of Aging (CDA) for the Appropriations Act of 2010, HICAP, the Nutrition Services Incentive Program, Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, Title III/VII and Title V program services.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
Services to be provided through these Agreements include Adult Day Care/Adult Day Health Care, Alzheimer’s Day Care Services, Case Management, Congregate Nutrition, Family Caregiver Support, HICAP, Health Promotion/Disease Prevention, Home-Delivered Meals, Legal Assistance, Medication Management, Ombudsman Services, Senior Employment and Transportation. These services, which serve an average of 13,400 seniors annually, are designed to carry out many of the goals and objectives identified in the New Beginning Coalition Strategic Plan and help at-risk individuals remain in the most independent setting possible.
|
|
|
The Agreements and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel. The Contractors’ insurance have been reviewed and approved by Risk Management. The Contractors have assured compliance with the County’s Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits.
|
|
|
The delay in processing these Agreements is due to the timing of the OAA and HICAP FY 2010-11 allocations and final program requirements from CDA. These Agreements are currently on the Continuing Resolution.
|
|
|
OAA and HICAP funds contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by allowing AAS to contract with community partners to provide a variety of much needed services to this targeted population. It is anticipated that 95% of at-risk individuals will be maintained in a least restrictive setting through case management.
