About Care Initiatives
Care Initiatives, doing business as Cherokee Specialty Care, is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since February 3, 2005, located in Cherokee, Iowa. The organization specializes in providing community nursing home services primarily to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically serving veterans in the Midwest region. As a corporate entity with a tax-exempt status, Care Initiatives operates as a child entity within a larger organizational structure and focuses on delivering healthcare services to veterans through Medicare/Medicaid licensed nursing home facilities.
Care Initiatives has consistently been awarded federal contracts through the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23) for community nursing home services and related reporting functions. The organization's federal contract awards have predominantly been firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, with values ranging from $6,120.56 to $312,335.00. These contracts have been awarded through full and open competition without any set-aside designations, covering quarterly reporting services, nursing home spending analyses, and direct nursing home services for veterans. The contracts typically involve providing quarterly "EXPRESS" reports on nursing home spending and utilization, as well as actual nursing home placement services for veterans across eight Midwestern and Plains states.
Care Initiatives holds a significant indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with the VA, valued at $1.7 million, which runs from November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2027. This single-award IDC allows the VA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for community nursing home services at Cherokee Specialty Care's facility in Cherokee, Iowa. Under this contract vehicle, multiple delivery orders have already been issued, including a $162,988 order for Fiscal Year 2023 services and a $237,565 order for Fiscal Year 2024 services. The IDC was established following a VA open continuous solicitation seeking proposals from licensed Medicare/Medicaid nursing home facilities in the VISN 23 region, with the primary objective of creating blanket contracts to facilitate veteran placements as needed.
