County OKs Purpose Care home‑health agreement for Villa residents
Summary
The commissioners approved an agreement allowing Purpose Care home‑health aides to provide showers and some resident care at the Villa; the vendor will bill qualifying residents or insurance and the county will not bear costs for qualifying cases, according to the presenter.
The board approved a care-services agreement with Purpose Care of Lafayette to allow Purpose Care home‑health aides to provide assistance (including showers and other care) at the Villa. A presenter addressed as Deanna described the arrangement and said it would not cost the county for residents who qualify because billing would be handled by Purpose Care and covered under residents' insurance programs.
A commissioner moved to approve the agreement, the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The presenter said Purpose Care would "take care of all the billing and collecting on their side," which the board noted as an operational clarification; no public comment opposed the agreement.
