recommendation
a) AGREEMENT- Request approval and authorization for the Executive Director to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Misc. Agreement 2025-151 with Helios Healthcare, LLC dba Idylwood Care Center for the purpose of providing community mental health services for adults who have serious mental illness pursuant to the provisions of the Bronzan-McCorquodale Act contained in the California Welfare and Institutions Code, thereby amending the agreement to replace Exhibit B to reflect the facility's updated rates for fiscal year 26/27, with a maximum compensation amount not to exceed $600,000, effective 7/1/25, and shall terminate 6/30/28
body
Financial Impact:
Costs of services will be paid for with Mental Health Realignment Funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services. Budget Unit is 40131 for Mental Health. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
On 6/10/25, the Board of Supervisors approved the renewal of the agreement with Helios Healthcare, LLC for the purpose of providing community mental health services. This Amendment No. 1 is to update Exhibit B to include the rates for Fiscal Year 26/27. There is no change to the term or compensation amount. Placement is difficult for clients who need long-term residential mental health services. The approval of this Amendment will allow for the continued use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. There continues to be a need for multiple long-term clients placed in Helios Healthcare facilities.
If this Amendment is not approved, clients who could be served at this facility would not be able to be placed there and the Department would need to find another comparable facility to place clients. This could result in clients being placed at further distances and cause a disruption and delays for much needed services.
