Other Direct Costs and Equipment The direct and equipment costs were calculated using the current budgeted amounts and then using the amounts attributable to the CAP and Home Care Staff over a 14-month period. An additional $115 was added to the printing line item as it will cost $115 to print 15 policy manuals. The line item for advertisement was derived from the costs it will take to adequately promote the program in the Cabarrus County area. It will cost $400 to produce 1000 glossy, color brochures and $1993 to advertise in the three local papers, the "Independent Tribune" ($1184), the Cabarrus Neighbors section of the "Charlotte Observer" ($415), and the "Cabarrus/Rowan Market Place" ($394). The "Independent Tribune" is the primary newspaper in the area. The "Cabarms/Rowan Market Place" has a circulation of 48,000 persons. Subcontractors Good Health Services (GHS) will be the subcontractor involved. We currently pay them $.10.60 per hour for each in-home aide provided. GHS will provide orientation and training, crimi~a} records checks, as well as TB and Hepatitis tests. The figures are based on serving 23 persons during the project period, which are approximately 12.5% of the current active cases. Criminal record checks are $15, TB tests are $18, and Hepatitis B vaccines are $75. We estimate that 33% of the attendant(s)/aide(s) hired may require a Hepatitis B vaccine and 75% of the attendant(s)/aide(s) hired may require a TB test. We will strongly suggest to the consumers that criminal record checks be completed on 100% of the attendant(s)/aide(s) hired. Attendant(s)/Aide(s) The wages for the attendant(s)/aide(s) will have an approximate range of $~5.15 per hour up to $9.00 per hour. The consumers will be given the range and they will decide the salaries of the attendant(s)/aide(s). 13. EVALUATION Cabarrus County DSS will do the following to assist the CDS project in the following areas: a. Determining consumer and worker satisfaction: The CAP supervisor will do quarterly consumer and aide/attendant satisfaction surveys to determine if the program is meeting the needs of both. Also, the supervisor will make random contacts with CDS consumers to determine if they are satisfied and if they feel this system is meeting their need. Although random, as far as when is concerned, every CDS consumer will have a contact from the supervisor during the first 6 months of operation. b. Capturing demographic information on those consumers involved in the pilot project: The demographic information on CDS consumers will be captured through assessment in the same manner that it is through the CAP/DA program. 12
