Home Health Agency is a $1,700,000 ,program which provides in-home care for elderly,
frail, disabled new born, at-risk, and recently hospitalized patients of Contra
Costa County. Home Health Agency is an integral part of Public Health Nursing and
is mandated under Title 17, Chapter 8, Part 2, Division 1 of the California Health
and Safety Code.
Contract 422-109-9 continues the speech and language consultation• and therapy ser-
vices which have been provided by this Contractor since July 1978 for the Home
Health Agency, and for physical and occupational therapy services which were added
to the contract last year.
The Department has been unable to meet the basic physical and occupational
therapy needs of its patients due to an acute shortage of therapists and recruiting
difficulties . This Contractor will be used to fill in as required to relieve or
Augment the Agency's staff. Should the Department. be successful in recruiting and
hiring the requisite staff, the Contractor's physical and occupational therapy ser-
vices will not be used.
