Title
Vote to approve In-Home Aide and Caregiver Respite contracts for First Choice Home Care, Inc., Guardian Angels Home Care of North Carolina and Keston Care.
Abstract
Aging Services is seeking approval of final contracts for three home health agencies that will provide in-home aide and caregiver respite services for its clients. These agencies were initially approved at the August 21 meeting.
Discussion & Analysis
The hourly rates are $32.50 for First Choice Home Care, $28.00 for Guardian Angels Home Care of NC and $25.00 for Keston Care. The vendors were scored in a competitive bid process in seven distinct areas using the county’s bid tabulation sheet.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: These contracts will enable Aging Services to the County’s Comprehensive Plan Objective of fostering a healthy community.
Budgetary Impact: These services will be covered primarily under the Home and Community Care Block Grant and Family Caregiver Support Program Grant (respite). The county provides the match for the block grant, which is already budgeted and there are American Rescue Plan Act funds that can be used for any respite overages. No budgetary impact is anticipated.
Recommendation/Motion: Vote to approve final contracts for In-Home Aide and Caregiver Respite to First Choice Home Care, Inc., Guardian Angels Home Care of North Carolina and Keston Care.
