Board establishes pricing and accepts bidders for in-home senior care programs
Summary
Sedgwick County accepted all bidders and established contract pricing for in-home services under the Senior Care Act and Older Americans Act; staff and Deputy Director Monica Sissel clarified that rates are established by the Central Plains Area Agency on Aging and clients may select preferred providers.
Purchasing recommended that the board accept all bidders and establish contract pricing at the rates and terms listed for in-home services provided under the Senior Care Act and the Older Americans Act, with three additional one-year renewal options. The board briefly paused the item to get department staff on the call; Monica Sissel, Deputy Director of the Sedgwick County Department of Aging and Disability, joined and explained the rates are established by the Central Plains Area Agency on Aging and are passed through to the agencies providing services.
Sissel said clients have choice of provider from an approved list and can switch providers later. After clarifying who pays the established rates and confirming the customer-choice process, the board moved to accept all bidders and establish pricing; the motion passed on roll call.
