( a ) The shift of funds from Care Management to Information & Case
Assistance is a response to loc.:.Ll demand for the less restrictive
service as well as a new provision in the 1992 Reauthorization of the
Older Americans Act prohibiting public or private agencies from
providing Care Management if they are delivering community based
services under the older Americans Act .
( b ) The increase in Senior Center ( $456 ) is the result of the Block Grant
Committee ' s recommendation that the additional orange County funds be
used to purchase health screening services from the Health Department
to be provided at clinics at the four ( 4 ) orange County Senior Center. .
( c ) There will be a shift in the Block Grant funds from In-Horne and
Institutional Respite services to Information and Care Assistance .
Using county funds for Respite will give staff the flexibility to
authorize service at whatever level is needed , while assuring that al
of the Grant funds will be earned and streamlining administrative
paperwork . The total levels of service commitment to In-Home and
Institutional Respite will not change in orange County . Switching
county dollars for Block Grant funds will not result in a net increa s f-
to orange County dollars , with a minimum required 104 local match
requirement remaining the same .
