BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-680-28 with Telecare Corporation for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, for the provision of gero-psychiatric and subacute mental health care for Severely and Persistently Mentally Ill clients.

In January 2016, the Contractor opened a new campus on site at Villa Fairmont called Villa flex to provide services to clients with complex needs and requiring comprehensive services. At the request of the County, the Contractor will provide additional services to clients needing a higher level of structure and a contained environment.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-680-29 will allow Contractor to provide additional services to clients needing a higher level of containment at the Flex Unit, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, patients will not receive the mental health care provided by Contractor.
