Commission tables award of home‑care proposals for area agency on aging to Aug. 6
Summary
The county opened eight proposals for home‑care services and tabled award decisions to Aug. 6 for review by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA).
Pike County commissioners opened proposals for home‑care service contracts for eligible older adults and people with disabilities and voted to table awarding contracts until the AAA completes its review.
County staff reported eight proposals, including bids from Sinclair Home Care Registry, Caregivers of America, Above the Rest Home Care, Dang Home Care, Valley Home Care (Scranton), Traditional Home Care (Belmore), and Keller Care Providers LLC. Reported rates varied by provider and service type: Sinclair listed companionship at $24/hour, personal care at $26/hour, maximum assistant care at $28/hour and a "LPN hourly fee" as $10 over those rates; Caregivers of America listed personal care at $21–22/hour; Above the Rest listed a personal care rate of $26/hour and RN assessment at $125/hour and cognitive assessment at $150/hour; Dang Home Care offered personal care at $20.25/hour; Valley Home Care listed $25/hour for personal care. Several submissions lacked bid amounts and require further review.
A motion to table the award and have proposals reviewed by the AAA until Aug. 6 passed by voice vote. County staff said the AAA will assess each bid and report back; no awards or contract start dates were announced at the July 16 meeting.
