Body
Recommended Action: Approve the contract and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Background: The renewal contract with Mount Hope Community Development, Inc. is for the Senior Care Act Program (SCA). The SCA program was established by the Kansas Legislature to assist older Kansans who have functional limitations in self-care and independent living, but are able to reside in a community-based residence with services provided. The SCA program provides assessment, case management and in-home services. Consumers share in the cost of services based on their income and co-pay amounts are determined based on a sliding fee scale. The SCA program assists residents in need of attendant care, homemaker and personal emergency response services allowing them to remain in the community and in the home environment of their choice. CPAAA currently contracts with six home health agencies to provide services and this contract is a renewal with an agency we have previously contracted with to serve clients in the Mount Hope area.
