SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Casa Pacifica Center for Children and Families is a campus-based residential center offering a wide range of assessment, crisis care, medical and education services for neglected, abused and severely emotional disturbed children. Casa Pacifica has been providing services to Monterey County youth who require the highest level of care to prevent their placement into an inpatient hospital or out-of-state residential or juvenile justice facilities. Services provided include individual counseling, family counseling, medication as needed, and other ancillary mental health services as required by the treatment plan.
Amendment No. 2 will increase outpatient rates of service and add Group Home RCL 14 Board and Care services in FY 14-15 for clients placed through the Individual Education Plan (IEP). Monterey County Behavioral Health Bureau will seek reimbursement from the local Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) for the Group Home RCL 14 Board and Care service.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 strategic plan initiative: 3) Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 7) Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
