Summary & Background: The Department of Senior Services recommends approval for Always Caring Homecare, Help At Home, At Home Atlanta, Quality Personal Care and Trusted Hands contracts. These contracts provide In-home Services to eligible Fulton County seniors aged 60 and above. The program allows seniors to remain in their residence, age in place and receive services that result in a healthy, clean, and safe environment.
Scope of Work: The Department of Senior Services In-Home Service program provides services and support to seniors who have limited mobility. The service includes Homemaker services whereby contracted staff perform light, custodial work in the home. Personal Care services provide a skilled nurse to take care of the client’s health by performing hygienic assistance and physical assistance. Respite care consists of a professional, certified staff who provides companionship, supervision, assistance with medication, and meal preparation. It also allows caregivers to conduct business on behalf of the senior in or outside the home.
Community Impact: This is an intervention service and enables eligible Fulton County seniors to remain in their homes, age in place and avoid institutionalization. Caregivers are less stressful as they leave their loved one in a safe and supervised environment with a professional.
Department Recommendation: The Department recommends approval.
Project Implications: This service will provide In-Home Services to eligible Fulton County seniors aged 60 and above. The service prevents seniors from losing their home and being institutionalized in a nursing home at a higher cost.
Community Issues/Concerns: If the contract is not approved, there are community concerns regarding access to vital resources and services.
Department Issues/Concerns: If the contract is not approved, there are departmental concerns regarding the County’s ability to continue to provide services and resources to the community.
