PURPOSE: To consider awarding an RFP for providing In-Home Aide
services to caregivers of Orange County elderly citizens .
BACKGROUND: Funds have been allocated in the 1996-97 budget for providing
In-Home Aide services to elderly citizens in Orange County.
In-Home Aide services are delivered by an independent con-
tractor who provides assistance with activities of daily
living to Orange County residents of any age who are caring for
someone sixty year and over. The target population is
households whose income is at or below 200% of the poverty
level. All recipients are encouraged to donate toward the cost
of the service. A waiting list is maintained for those requests
received after the program allocation is exhausted. Orange
County will provide approximately 1950 hours of service in
Levels I, II and III in the upcoming year. Level I entails
providing help with household chores. Level II adds some
personal care as well as providing help with household chores .
Level III is the same as Level II with more extensive personal
care. The Eldercare Specialists conduct extensive in-home
assessments in order to determine eligibility for the service.
The service is limited to 120 hours per household per fiscal
year in order to provide assistance to more individuals.
