RFP-JA-Analysis & Development Options MV Healthcare Center - Analysis & Development of Options Morris View Healthcare Center

Summary of Specifications:
The County of Morris is soliciting proposals from interested and qualified firms to perform an analysis of the various service options and/or models that may be available to continue to reduce County subsidization of its long-term nursing facility. 

The County of Morris has an extensive history of providing long-term care to its needy residents through the operation of Morris View Healthcare Center. In the past five years, the County has undertaken a series of cost-saving measures at Morris View. 

Morris County has to date made extensive effort to increase efficiency and cut costs, including privatizing many functions within the facility, from overall management to dietary and laundry services. While these cost-cutting changes have reduced the County’s share of funding required to successfully operate the facility, there is still a significant County contribution required. Morris County seeks to reduce if not eliminate that contribution without decreasing the quality of services to the residents. 

In these challenging economic times, the County is seeking proposals from an experienced consultant to further define the various options that may be available to further reduce costs at Morris View Healthcare Center. The County is seeking to retain a consultant/firm that can analyze all feasible options and present these findings and options to the County Administrator and the Director of the Department of Human Services.
