Explanation
Background
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to increase a contract with Interim Healthcare of Ohio in connection with the Congregate Services Housing Program. Federal grant funding was awarded to the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Interim Healthcare of Ohio provides for medication set-ups for residents of four senior housing facilities (Worley Terrace, Jaycee Arms, Jaycee Village and Nazareth Towers). Medication setups include providing education about usage and side effects along with monitoring the use of medications.
Emergency action is requested due to the increased number of consumers enrolling into the Congregate Housing Services Program at the four housing facilities.
