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.
Canyon Manor provides services classified as psychiatric/psychosocial rehabilitation in a mental health rehabilitation center located in Novato, California. Canyon Manor provides long term care for adults with serious mental illness by operating an Intensive Day Treatment while operating as a 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.
HHSA submitted this Agreement and seven other Agreements for approval by the Board of Supervisors on June 18, 2019. The June 18th agenda item was rejected because the Agreements could not be combined onto one agenda item. This process necessitated a retroactive start date.
