Agenda Item Text:
Approve Contract No. 107-20-1 between Southeastern Arizona Governments Organization (SEAGO) and Cochise County Health and Social Services for Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Case Management services, in the amount of $185,135, effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
Background:
Cochise Health and Social Services (CHSS) through its Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Program provides Case Management services to both care recipients and unpaid family caregivers. Services are generally restricted to older individuals aged 60 or older per SEAGO Service Specifications. Case Managers conducts client in-home assessments, provide referrals for home delivered meals, housekeeping and personal care (services funded by SEAGO) and link clients to other services available in the community. Case Management support enables elderly and disabled county residents to remain in their homes longer, living independently with supports for as long as safely possible.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Closure of services for 480 county residents. Closure of case management service would contribute to increased enrollment on ALTCS. As of 2013, the county’s assessment per person enrolling on ALTCS was $4,900.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please return two original signed contracts to Belvet Elsouhag. A fully executed copy of the contract will be returned to the appropriate Board of Supervisors representative after SEAGO signature obtained by Belvet.
