PHONE SCAM ALERT:
We have had several calls from people recently (December 30, 2020) reporting they have received potential scam phone calls from one of our phone numbers (919-542-4512; 919-742-3975)
If you were to receive a call from our Council’s staff, they would always identify themselves and specify why they are calling. You would likely know our staff member by name. If you have any doubt about who is calling you, don’t hesitate to hang up and call us back at one of the numbers above. Always be careful of scams and do not give out personal information over the phone (such as your Social Security number or credit card or bank information).
We are sorry if you have received one of these calls. We have notified the phone company and Sheriff’s Office.

COA ACCEPTING BIDS FOR IN-HOME AIDE SERVICES
The Chatham County Council on Aging is accepting bids for in-home aide services for older adults in Chatham County for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021. The Council on Aging has about 80 clients who receive Level II and III in-home aide services and caregiver respite. Funding for the program comes from several sources, including the State Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG), local government, other grants, contributions and donations. Businesses submitting bids must have been in operation and complied with all local, state and federal laws for at least three years, and have a working knowledge of State Rule 10A NCAC 13J and the HCCBG standards for in-home aide services covering such areas as aide competency, training and oversight, assessment and service planning, service priorities, and documentation and quality assurance. HCCBG funding requires adherence to the Expanded Home Care Licensure Rules. Businesses must submit with the bid proof of liability and workers compensation insurance, proof of licensing by the NC Division of Health Service Regulation, verification for appropriate criminal background and Nurse Aide certification policies, and certification that there are no overdue tax debts. The specific aide services include personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation and caregiver respite. Closing bid date is April 26, 2021 at 5 pm.
For more information, contact Dennis Streets, Director of the Council on Aging at 919-542-4512. Bids must be received at P.O. Box 715, Pittsboro, NC 27312 or the Eastern Chatham Senior Center, 365 Highway 87 N Pittsboro, or via email at dennis.streets@chathamcoa.org.
