Board to explore alternatives for home health services; Supervisor Turner to meet with Greenbelt Home Care
Summary
Following budget review, supervisors discussed looking for more cost-effective home health providers for Tama County Public Health and Home Care. Supervisor David Turner will meet with Greenbelt Home Care to gather information and report back next week; no contract was approved.
The Tama County Board of Supervisors revisited the Public Health and Home Care budget on April 27 and discussed exploring alternatives for providing home health services.
Supervisor David Turner said the board should be "good stewards of the taxpayer's money" and suggested the county explore more cost-effective options. Turner said he had researched Greenbelt Home Care (greenbelthomecare.com) and planned to meet with a Greenbelt representative later that afternoon to gather details and report back to the board next week. No procurement or contract action was taken during the meeting.
The board did not approve changes to existing service contracts at the April 27 meeting; the item remains under review pending Turner's follow-up and a future report to the board.
