This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is open to any legally constituted entities that meet the minimum eligibility requirements. Services in adult day facilities may include help with personal care, health monitoring, skilled nursing, social services and activities, education, therapeutic activities, a nutritious meal and snacks, coordination of transportation, first aid, and emergency care. Approximately $337,585 is available through this RFQ. HSD intends to fund up to four (4) proposals. Initial awards will be made for the period of April 2, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
