title

body
BACKGROUND:
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) has contracted with GHC of Lakeside, LLC dba Lakeside Special Care Center since August 27, 2020 for a residential care facility to provide residential care services to mentally ill adult clients. These services enhance successful community living and avoid a more costly, higher level of care.
Because residential facilities services are limited in our County, under the B-1 Administrative Memorandum, the selection of providers of residential services for mental health clients is exempt from the Request for Proposals requirement.
DISCUSSION:
GHC of Lakeside, LLC dba Lakeside Special Care Center shall continue to provide beds for difficult-to-place clients and augmented services for seriously mentally ill clients who require a higher level of care and supervision. These services include supplemental intensive mental health services, social skills training, and assistance with daily living activities.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendments of the County’s fiscal obligation by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.
It is anticipated that 40% of clients will be discharged to a less restrictive level of care.
