RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–933–33 with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $7,383,000, to provide subacute skilled nursing care services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 88% Mental Health Realignment; 12% Mental Health Services Act (No Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population in that it provides subacute skilled nursing care services for County’s Seriously and Persistently Mentally Ill (SMPI) and neurobehavioral clients.

On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-933-31, (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-933-32) with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of subacute skilled nursing care for County’s Seriously and Persistently Mentally Ill (SPMI) and Neurobehavioral clients.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-933-33 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Behavioral Health Services Division/Mental Health places clients at Contractor's facilities licensed for various levels of care. If the contract is not approved, a significant number of mentally ill young adults and adults may be displaced to the community without the mental health services they require.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
