Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
June 7, 2022, Item No. 3(p), BOS approval of Agreement No. BOS-22-126.
Summary of Request:
The Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act is the California law governing the involuntary civil commitment of individuals who, due to mental illness, pose a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or who are gravely disabled and require inpatient psychiatric care. The intent of the LPS Act was to end inappropriate lifetime commitment of people with mental illness and firmly establish their right to due process, while significantly reducing state institutional expense.
Pursuant to the requirements of the LPS Act, Mendocino County is responsible for providing residential care services to LPS clients who are court-mandated to receive a specific level of care requiring a structured environment due to mental health challenges. Currently, there are no local facilities in Mendocino County that are able to provide all levels of care as mandated by the courts. In addition, there is a shortage of residential care facilities statewide, which creates competition for these placements. As a result, Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) contracts with multiple residential care facilities in order to help manage the shortage, and to maintain current client placements, ensuring the most appropriate care within the largest possible placement options.
Davis Guest Home is one of the few residential care facilities able to provide services to Mendocino County LPS clients. Davis Guest Home is a residential care facility located in Modesto, CA providing 24-hour residential care in a clean, comfortable, and home-like environment. Davis Guest Home provides medication management, educational opportunities, socialization and group interactions, entertainment/recreation, and transportation to the residents with an overall goal for clients to achieve independence with a lower level of care requirement.
On June 7, 2022, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. BOS-22-126 with Davis Guest Home for mental health residential treatment services. The original amount of the Agreement was estimated based on the number of clients at Davis Guest Home at the beginning of fiscal year 22-23, but additional placements were needed throughout the year. The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-22-126 increases the total amount, enabling Davis Guest Home to continue court mandated mental health services to Mendocino County LPS conserved clients. Once the proposed Amendment is executed, it will be effective for the full term of the Agreement, from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
