BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Located in Modesto, Davis Guest Home is the only enhanced board and care facility close to Napa County. It has proven successful in providing placement to clients who would otherwise be institutionalized.
Davis Guest Home is a family-owned and operated residential care facility that provides long-term stable housing for individuals who are unable to stay in traditional board and care community placements because their mental health symptoms and/or behaviors prevent them from functioning at the level of independence required in other programs. This program serves as a less costly, community-based alternative to long-term locked settings and is often utilized as a step down for individuals coming out of long-term locked settings in order to better prepare the individual for a successful reentry into the community. Davis Guest Home provides services to an average of 25-30 Napa County residents annually.
This amendment is only to increase the contract maximum. No changes are needed to Exhibits A or B at this time.
Davis Guest Home, Inc. is not a local provider.
