Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Aging and Long-Term Care Administration provides flexibility to each AAA to provide behavioral health (mental health and chemical dependency) services for older adults and unpaid caregivers. The Kitsap County Division of Aging and Long-Term Care establishes the criteria and subcontracts for these services each calendar year. Subcontracting for services includes procuring a service provider, entering a contractual relationship, receiving bills, and reimbursing for service delivery, and assessing the quality of the service provider's agency and fiscal management as well as the quality and efficacy of the services provided. The request for proposal is to solicit a Washington state licensed mental health counselor or organization of licensed behavioral health professionals to provide home-based counseling and consultation services to individuals over the age of 60 years and their caregivers. A Washington state licensed mental health counselor with chemical dependency certification is preferred.
