Board approves affiliation agreement with Harbor Side Hospice to expand resident choice
Summary
The board approved a one-year, automatically renewing affiliation with Harbor Side Hospice LLC effective July 20, 2026, to allow hospice services residents request; staff said the agreement enables honoring resident choice where no prior contract existed.
Commissioner S3 moved to approve the Harbor Side Hospice LLC nursing facility services agreement, effective 07/20/2026 for a one-year term with automatic successive one-year renewals; the board approved the motion.
Long-term care staff (S5) explained the agreement is an affiliation allowing the county to honor resident choice when that hospice is requested. Staff said the county already contracts with multiple hospice agencies but did not have a current contract with Harbor Side; the agreement will allow families and residents to choose that provider and access typical hospice services (nursing, chaplaincy, volunteers) inside the facility.
