The person being given a 60-day service termination was influenced by the individual’s legal guardian/mother deciding to not have the person return to the program after she was not comfortable with safety in the Adult Foster Care (AFC) setting during the COVID-19 pandemic and elected to provide care to the individual for a two week period. The service provider sent a letter to the individual’s mother that gave the guardian the option to provide care for two weeks to the individual in lieu of being in the AFC.  The two week timeline was based on the maximum time limit that a provider could bill for (under the guise of a “camping trip”) and continue to hold the individual’s bed. The uncertainties of the pandemic influenced the provider to develop a creative plan to continue to support the individual in her mother’s home.  This plan included the provider having the mother become an employee to formally provide direct support to the individual.  This was influenced by the mother previously being a provider for the agency as well as what was deemed to be important to the individual.  The uncertainties of the pandemic again made timelines unclear for how long this arrangement would be appropriate.  The provider then reached out to the County to discuss the alternative plan that was currently in place.  The county couldn’t approve this alternative service delivery.  The individual’s mother was made aware of this but was still comfortable with the individual to return to an AFC setting and decided to continue to have the individual reside with her.   Based on the mother’s decision, the provider not being able to sustain the current plan and the County stance on the alternative plan the person was given a 60-day termination notice.
