DATE: October 11, 1991 County
SUBJECT:Approval of George Miller Center West Geriatric Program
(County #28-516)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the expansion of services for adult programs at George Miller
Center West to include a new Geriatric Program for 16 disabled
individuals age 55 and over, effective November 1, 1991. The County
will be reimbursed for the actual costs incurred for the Geriatric
Program by the Regional Center of the East Bay/Department of
Developmental Services.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Regional Center of the East Bay/Department of Developmental
Services (RCEB/DDS) has established a daily rate ($40. 05/day) of
reimbursement to the County for providing the new Geriatric Program.
The rate will remain in effect for approximately 12 - 18 months, at
which time the rate will be adjusted based on. actual program cost.
Following that, the rate will be re-evaluated by RCEB/DDS every two
years and again adjusted according to program cost. The established
daily rate covers projected program costs (personnel and equipment)
and a portion of the administrative overhead.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Presently the George Miller Center West facility operates two
programs for disabled adults and one program for disabled infants.
The' need for specialized services for elderly disabled adults has
been recognized by the disabilities community. In fact, the Regional
Center of the East Bay submitted a request for proposal to address
this specific need area.
The goal of the new Geriatric Program will be to try to integrate
older adults (55 years and up) with disabilities, into existing
community services for senior citizens. This will allow them to
associate with their chronological peers as well as to participate in
age-appropriate activities.
