I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and Authorize the, Health Services Director- to submit, on behalf of the
County, Funding Proposal #29-447 " to the State Department of Mental Health
requesting $74,7.00 of Targeted Supplemental Funds for the period October 1, 1986 -
June 30, 1987 for geriatric outreach services to the isolated frail elderly in
East Contra Costa County.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this funding proposal by the State will result in $74,700 of State
Targeted Supplemental Funds for geriatric outreach services. Sources of funding
are as follows:
$74,700 State Department of Mental Health Targeted Supplemental Fund
-8,300 County Mental Health Share in FY 86-87 Budget
$83,000 Total Program
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In May 1986 the County received State Department of Mental Health Letter No. 86-15
(Targeted Supplemental Fund Proposals) which established priority areas for funding
and application procedures. The allocation for which Contra Costa County was eli-
gible to apply was specified in August 1986 in Mental Health Letter No. 86-29.
The Geriatric Services Program established in 1980 provides outreach to the iso-
lated and frail elder, who for health and/or mental health reasons is at risk of
hospitalization and/or institutionalization. The expansion of geriatric outreach
services to the East County region has been supported as a priority by the Mental
Health Advisory Board, Mental Health Task Force, Area Office on Aging and the Area
Council on Aging because the current program cannot meet the needs of this
vulnerable and underserved population. The funding under this proposal will
establish. an outreach team for East County including a half-time Registered Nurse,
a Mental Health Treatment Specialist, and clerical support .
This program funding is expected to continue during FY 1987-88.
