Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve and authorize the Director of Health or Assistant Director of Health to execute a no-extension Amendment No. 2 to Mental Health Services Agreement A-13288 with Odd Fellow - Rebekah Children’s Home of California to add $21,330 of additional services, for a revised total Agreement of $5,342,267 for the same term July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2020.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Odd Fellow - Rebekah Children’s Home of California has been providing services to Monterey County children and youth who require the highest level of residential care to prevent their placement into an inpatient hospital, out-of-state residential, or juvenile justice facility. Odd Fellow - Rebekah Children’s Home of California provides Mental Health and Residential Treatment program services to reduce inappropriate behavioral and/or psychiatric symptoms to a level of care whereby the youth can return home or move to a lower level of care. In addition, Odd Fellow - Rebekah Children’s Home of California provides Wraparound program services as an alternative to group home care through the development of family-based services for children and youth. This Amendment will add Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) services which is a short-term full day program that enables the youth to receive acute care while residing in their homes or other community placement. This Amendment No. 2 is retroactive to September 1, 2019 due to a Monterey County youth placement into Odd Fellow - Rebekah Children’s Home of California PHP.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D), which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
This work supports the following Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 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.
