Ongoing item. Most recent action on May 19 2020, Item 4(i), BOS Agreement No. 20-044.
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, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), 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.
Nadham, Inc. dba Creekside Convalescent Hospital-Behavioral Health Unit provides services classified as psychiatric/psychological rehabilitation in a mental health rehabilitation center located in Santa Rosa, California. Creekside provides long term care for adults with serious mental illness by operating an Intensive Day Treatment program through its mental health rehabilitation center. Intensive Day Treatment is appropriate for seriously mentally ill clients who may have a concurrent medical problem(s) because of the severity of their mental illness. These clients require additional services, and at times, more intensive supervision and specialized treatment plans. Intensive Day treatment is an alternative to, and diversion from, State hospital placements.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
