RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Family Caregiver Alliance, effective March 1, 2019 to increase the total payment limit by $55,699, to a new total Contract payment limit of $181,005 for Older Americans Act, Title III-E Family Caregiver Provider Program services, including respite care and education services for older adults, their caregivers, and families with no change to the term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase Department revenue by $55,699, to a new total of $181,005, funded 100% by the Federal Older Americans Act, Title III-E. [CFDA# 93.052]

BACKGROUND:

Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) provides support services to older adults, their caregivers, and families through a Multi-Faceted Respite and Education Program with a broad array of comprehensive services to caregivers of persons 60 years of age and older who have functional impairments. FCA must adhere to the Area Agency on Aging special conditions' definitions for the meaning of program services and terms. FCA provides services in the three service areas of Contra Costa County (County): East, West, and Central. Services include Public Information on Caregiving; Community Education on Caregiving; Caregiver Outreach; Caregiver Information and Assistance; Caregiver Assessment; Caregiver Counseling; Caregiver Training; Caregiver Case Management; Respite In-Home Person Care; and Caregiver Legal Resource Information.

This amendment provides for increased multi-faceted respite and education program services through the annual redistribution of funding for non-client expenditures by California Department of Aging.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Additional training, home modification, and assisted living services in support of Contra Costa County's older adults, their caregivers, and their families will not be available.
