Reason for Recommended Action/Background
North Valley Behavioral Health (NVBH) provides 24/7 operation of both Pine Tree Garden homes which includes the following daily activities: 24/7 staffing, food preparation, medication administration and support of residents’ activities of daily living. Further, NVBH as a housing operator has been responsible for ensuring both houses are appropriately stocked with food, activity supplies, housekeeping, office supplies, and hygiene supplies.
Services aim to restore, maintain, or improve personal independence and functioning consistent with requirements for learning and development. Services are patterned upon evidence-based or best practice-based models of treatment incorporating principles of “recovery” from symptoms of mental illness and are provided in a less restrictive environment, allowing consumers to receive appropriate level of services. Contracting with NVBH allows the County to achieve cost saving by reducing placements in other higher level/higher cost placements.
HHSA is requesting approval of this amendment which adds $100,000 so NVBH can hire a case manager to provide full time support for non-FSP clients residing in either Pine Tree Garden homes.
The Performance Measures associated with this Agreement are included in Attachment A, Exhibit F.
