By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrat Costa
DATE: July 21, 1992 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Contract #24-648 with Telecare Corporation to
Provide Mental Health Treatment Services for County Patients at
Morton Bakar Center
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Standard Contract #24-648 with Telecare Corporation in the amount of
$377,468 for the period from July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993 for
provision of mental health treatment services for Contra Costa County
geriatric patients.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
County/Realignment funds 100%
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In 1981, Contra Costa County reduced patient days at Napa State
Hospital as a means of securing 18 beds at Garfield Geropsychiatric
Hospital (now called Morton Bakar Center) , operated by Telecare
Corporation, as part of a 302f regional agreement with Alameda
County. Funds for the 18 beds have, since 1981, gone from the State
Department of Mental Health to Alameda County, who has acted as the
fiscal agent for this program. With Realignment, the fiscal
relationship changes, and beginning July 1, 1992 , Contra Costa County
will have control over the dollars which purchase beds at the
Contractor's Morton Bakar Center.
Approval of Standard Contract #24-648 will provide 12 beds at the
Morton Bakar Center for County's patients 65 years and older who can
benefit from an intensive psychiatric rehabilitative treatment
setting.
