RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–331-8 with Helios Healthcare, LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $473,840, to provide sub-acute skilled nursing care services for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Realignment. (Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

On November 17, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-331-7 with Helios Healthcare, LLC, for the provision of sub-acute skilled nursing care services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Novation Contract #74-331-8, replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2017, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer sub-acute skilled nursing care services available for County’s seriously mentally ill and neurobehavioral clients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.” Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
