SUBJECT: Approval of Contract#24-086-145(5) County
with Crestwood Behavioral Health,Inc.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand)to execute on behalf of
the County, Contract#24-086-145(5) with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc., corporation, in an amount not
to exceed $150,000, to provide Emergency Residential Care Placement Agreement, for the period from
January 1,2009 through December 31,2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100%by Mental Health Realignment.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATIONW:
For several years, the County's Mental Health Adult Services Program has used these Agreements as an
interim financing mechanism to facilitate the residential care of mentally disabled clients and movement of
clients, who are deemed eligible for SSI/SSP, from State or local inpatient facilities to community-based
facilities. This Program provides residential care for 40 to 50 clients per year. Under this program, the
County pays the State-established rates for the residential care of mental health clients who are not yet
receiving SSUSSP (but who are potentially eligible and have made formal application to the Social Security
Administration for SSUSSP), contingent upon the-client's signing an agreement with the County to reimburse
the County from the SSI/SSP money, once it is finally granted by the federal government (usually 3 to 6
months retroactively back to the month of application).
On. September 25, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-086-145(2) (as amended by
Contract Amendment Agreements, #24-086-145(3) and 24-086-145(4), for the period from September 1,
2007 through December 31, 2008, for the provision of emergency residential care.
Approval of Contract #24-086-145(5) will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through
December 31,2009.
