BACKGROUND:
The Human Services Agency’s Division of Social Services operates the Adult Day Care (ADC) program, which provides eligible Union County Residents an alternative to long-term care placement thus allowing them to remain self-sufficient in their own home as long as possible and it is used as respite for many family caregivers. Adult Day Care provides an organized program of services during the day in a community group setting to support the personal independence of older adults. This promotes social, physical, and emotional well-being to individuals. The Union County Division of Social Services' Social Workers provide monitoring and compliance for its clients served by the ADC program.
The Human Services Agency's Division of Social Services has utilized the contractual services of New Testament Adult Day Care Center for Adult Day Care Services since August 2020. New Testament Adult Day Care Center has been effective and efficient in meeting our service needs, and we are requesting to continue this service for an additional six months beginning July 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2025. The department is currently working with Procurement on a new solicitation for Adult Day Care Services and expects the new contract to go into effect by the end of this six-month term.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The anticipated spend with this vendor during the 6 month period is $132,824, however the total annual cost for this service is $265,649.00 and is budgeted accordingly for FY2026.
