Analysis:
OC Memorial began serving as a member of the Huntington Beach Council on Aging in 2006 to enhance the quality of life for Huntington Beach seniors. In 2016, in anticipation of the new Senior Center in Central Park opening, OC Memorial entered into a MOU with the City to provide an annual donation of $25,000 for care management services.
OC Memorial now wishes to continue their five-year partnership with the City of Huntington Beach and its social services care management team. The proposed MOU will provide the City with a total of $125,000 for another five years of care management services. This ongoing support of care management allows for the continuation of wellness programs and preventative services made available to active seniors, in addition to frail and homebound seniors.
In return, the MOU provides OC Memorial with certain ‘naming rights’ to the Care Management area within the building, recognition in certain publications, as well as opportunities to provide free wellness and enrichment educational programs at the Senior Center in Central Park. The City’s commitments include working collaboratively with OC Memorial to develop annual programming of lectures and enrichment programs.
Approval of the MOU will memorialize and legally bind the partnership between the City and OC Memorial with regard to its direct support of care management services.
