Proposed Service Delivery:

Northwoods Senior Housing LLC, will contract with Dr. Kate Convalescent Center, which will use Dr. Kate Home Health agency (an affiliate) to deliver services to the RCAC. All services in a tax credit development must be optional. Tenants will have the option to contract with other area service providers.

Scheduled services will be offered through the home health agency. A lifeline system is going to be in place with a phone and pendant(s) for each apartment. The owner is still working out the delivery of unscheduled services. It is possible that the home health agency office might be located within the development; there is an extra unit that might be used for this.

The owners will help tenants qualify for Medicaid funding, if necessary. If the MA-waiver is unavailable in the county, the owners hope to use the home health agency to help deliver services via the MA card.

Marketing:

The RCAC is opening in mid October. As of August 1, 23 households have applied and given deposits on the apartments; 75% are singles. These households are being screened for the income qualifications needed to meet the tax credit requirements.

Rates for Services:

The owner is working out the rate schedule at this time.
