The reimbursement rate of $56 per day covers the entire cost of providing services. There is no maximum annual reimbursement amount. However, usage is estimated and budgeted at $20,000 for FY 2010-11.
Reason for Recommendation:
Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center receives annual funding from the State Department of Mental Health, which enables them to reimburse counties in their region, including El Dorado County, for respite services to their eligible clients. A number of Senior Day Care clients are DCRC eligible, and the cooperative contractual arrangement, first established in 1989-90, benefits both the Program and the clients.
The Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center (DCRC) provides $56 per day funding per person for respite care as provided by this Department's Senior Day Care Program. This "Vendor Agreement" is the contract that allows for reimbursement to the County for services to eligible DCRC clients during Fiscal Year 2010-11. Upon execution, the Agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2010. The Agreement was received from DCRC on May 28, 2010, and processing was expedited. Upon receipt of necessary approvals, the Department immediately scheduled this item for the next available Board date.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Chair to sign (2) original agreements.
2) Board Clerk's Office to return (1) original agreement to the Department at Briw Road.
3) Department to distribute as appropriate.
