MEMO <br /> <br />ICARARRUS COUNTY I <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Mike Murphy ~k <br /> <br />April10,1997 <br /> <br />HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE BLOCK GRANT <br />REIMBURSEMENT RATE INCREASE FOR <br />THE CONGREGATE NUTRITION PROGRAM <br /> <br />The current unit rate for reimbursement for the Congregate Nutrition Program is $2.7185. The <br />standards allow for a cost of living increase of 3.33% which will increase this amount to $2.8090. <br />The contracted cost per meal will be $2.757 for FY'98. The actual adjusted unit cost is $4.7194 <br />(this figure includes administration and overhead that is provided by Cabarrus County.) <br /> <br />We have experienced an increase of 13% over the past two years. With the assistance of Sherfi <br />Barnhardt we have actively solicited competitive pricing and have found that few companies are <br />capable of providing this service. We are pleased with the overall service that we receive from <br />Service America. <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County reimbursement rate for the Congregate Nutrition Program is the lowest rate <br />for our eight (8) county region. Therefore, we are respectfully requesting approval for a <br />reimbursement unit rate of $3.295 in order to offset a portion of our increased expenses in <br />providing this service. <br /> <br /> Department of Aging <br />P.
