RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Empowered Aging, effective February 7, 2022, to increase the payment limit by $42,745 to a new payment limit of $547,865 to provide enhanced long-term care Ombudsman services with no change in the term July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase budget expenditures by $42,745 to a new total expenditure of $547,865 to be funded by 21% Federal (CDFA #93.044 and 93.041) and 79% State funds.

BACKGROUND:

Empowered Aging responds to reports of abuse of residents of long-term care facilities. Their services also include representing residents with issues related to day-to-day care, health, safety and personal preferences. This amendment provides enhanced long-term care Ombudsman services through the allocation of a portion of the California Department of Aging Area Plan Amendment funding provided to the Employment and Human Services Department, Area Agency on Aging.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Seniors in Contra Costa County will not receive additional benefits of enhanced Ombudsman services.
