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:
This is a renewal Agreement with the vendor. The vendor provides long term residential mental health services. There are statewide shortages of these long-term care psychiatric beds, making placements very difficult. If this Agreement is approved, it will allow for the use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. There continues to be multiple long-term clients placed in Vista Pacifica facilities. If this Agreement is not approved, 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.
