Summary & Background:
These contracts support Neighborhood Senior Center Management (NSC) for 14 centers, Volunteer Services (NSC support) and Case Management in Central, North and South Fulton to eligible Fulton County seniors aged 60 and above.
The Aging Services contract was approved by the Board of Commissioners in December 2022 at a compensation amount of $4,487,656.46. Three contracts were awarded, and the contractors submitted varying reimbursement rates for case management services. These rates are based on direct and indirect personnel and administrative costs to deliver these services. Case management services under Aging Services are partially funded through the Atlanta Regional Commission via Older Americans Act funding.
The cost of doing business has increased and is more expensive than prior years. Approval of this change order less than 10% results in a billable rate change.
Scope of Work: The Department of Senior Services Aging Services program provides services and support to seniors with mobility. Case Management is a service for seniors that require needs due to being homebound or having limited mobility. The case manager assesses the senior’s current situation to align services to support them. Senior Center Management supports the County’s 14 centers and allows seniors to visit Fulton County Neighborhood Senior Centers to receive services, participate in programs and partake of meals on a daily basis in a clean and safe environment. Volunteer Services augments senior center staff support, addresses social isolation and increases access to community services.
Community Impact: These are support services that enable eligible Fulton County seniors to participate in daily activities near their homes which advances mobility, reduces social isolation and its implications, while promoting engagement and cognitive stimulation. Caregivers are less stressed as they leave their loved one in a safe and supervised environment with a professional. According to the Sharefulton Senior Services Performance Dashboard, as of the third quarter of FY23, 41.2K meals were served at Neighborhood Senior Centers, 1,441 seniors are registered to receive Case Management services and as of Q2-23, 92% of senior center participants (customers) self-report a reduction in isolation.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Senior Services recommends approval of this item.
Project Implications: N/A
Community Issues/Concerns: N/A
Department Issues/Concerns: The cost of doing business is more expensive than prior years. Contractor recruitment and retention efforts are negatively impacted by the current reimbursement rate. Staffing difficulties result in administrative downsizing, increase burden for care providers and poses a threat to service delivery.
