Yes, we did it! Approximately 14 months ago, NHR began a formal process to become a nationally accredited agency. We were working with The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL) as a means of achieving this goal. NHR set three goals: ♦ To help all of us at our agency—DSP’s to the board of Directors—commit to a higher level of excellence in person-centered services that is bench-marked against national best practices; ♦ To achieve an objective standard of service quality that is recognizable to individuals with disabilities and their families as well as to public and private funding sources; and, ♦ To espouse a national accreditation that is consonant with NHR’s ardent commitment to customer service. Note from Regis: I am pleased to announce to all of you that New Horizons achieved the distinction of accreditation with the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). CQL is an international accrediting agency dedicated to leadership excellence in the definition, measurement and evaluation of personal and community quality of life for people with disabilities. NHR becomes only the fourth agency in New York State to have achieved this accreditation.

Congratulations to Jason Yoder (Independent Living) for being selected

as NHR’s Employee of the Month! His nomination said the following: “Since starting at New Horizons, this employee has welcomed me and the changes that has occurred within Independent Living. He is a team player with a great sense of humor and helps with whatever is asked of him. Recently, Jason was asked to take on more responsibility with one of the people we provide services for. He accepted it without hesitation. I asked that person’s MSC about Jason, and she replied ‘Jason is a strong advocate for him and provides the support and structure he needs no matter what.’ Jason has the ability to take stressful situations and remain calm. He takes care of what needs to be done. Jason is able to work in two different apartments with two totally different people and be able to meet all their needs. Whether it is going to the mall or library with one or gardening, painting or BBQing with another. As Jason’s supervisor, I always know that when Jason is working, the folks he serves will always get the best possible care and support. Jason is their staff, friend

and confidant. For all these reasons, I am nominating Jason Yoder for employee of the month.” Jason will receive a $50 gift certificate to the location of his choice for being selected Employee of the Month. Please congratulate him when you see him!

Nominations for Employee of the Month are reviewed at our monthly Unity meeting. The next meeting will be held on Thursday August 4th at 11am at the Training and Administration Building on West Road. All are welcome, we hope to see you there!

The trip to the Bronx Zoo was a success! Bill and I took Gerry F. down to the Zoo, unfortunately Max. N. was unable to attend as he had become sick. We all had a great time, exploring all of the various exotic animals and exhibits. Gerry had never been to the Zoo before, so this was his first trip. He expressed that he loved the Reptile House. Yes, yes, we went into the Reptile House! With Bill and Gerry’s encouragement, I was able to overcome my fear of snakes and complete the journey through the building…only for today though. I am still petrified! There were so many things to see and do there. The best part was that it was free admission day. Every Wednesday is free admission at the Bronx Zoo, except we had to pay for parking. To minimize expense we all packed a picnic lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed at the Zoo together. The mileage is a lot, but with no admission expense and lunch expense, it is a cost efficient trip for all. It is a great way to bring the idea and reality of science and natural habitats alive for the people we serve. There are a lot of other activities that are cost efficient as well within our own communities. For instance, we recently discovered that our Community Habilitation Friends are eligible to obtain a National Park Access Pass. In fact, any individual with a permanent medical disability is eligible. This pass grants these individuals with free tours of mansions, etc. for any National Park, with some restrictions at some places. The bonus to this pass is that the card holder is also allowed to bring along any three friends they like for free as well. This means, Community Habili-tation Workers and their Community Habilita-tion participant can attend together at no cost. This is another wallet friendly activity that all will enjoy. It is affordable and it is a great learning experience and community integration activity. We really have enjoyed looking for new out of the box activities that are wallet friendly to the work-ers and families we serve. A lot of individuals we serve do not normally get to experience, nor have been introduced to activities such as the ones mentioned previously. This is a great aspect of

Community Habilitation, where we as workers get to bring these types of activities to the people we serve. They have all proved to be big hits that many have already enjoyed.

NHR Achieves National Accreditation, continued... Here's what this honor means to us: • NHR's work in person-centered supports and measuring our success against international benchmarks will be expanding. • Our partnership with CQL and the high standards they set will strengthen our commitment to ethical principles and person-centered supports. The accreditation will position our organization favorably as a provider of choice for families, for our licensing agencies and for funding sources. I want to thank the many, many people who participated at all levels to achieve this goal. Although hard work is still ahead of us we should take this moment to just enjoy the fruits of our efforts to date. First, I want to thank all the Direct Care Professionals who participated. Your valuable presence at the workshop, sub-committee meetings, and trainings has certainly proven that we are al-ready a person centered agency and we are only taking another step in the continuum of sup-porting people even better. For being the second person interviewed in over 50 personal inter-views completed to date; you have the closest relationship or most information. This has been invaluable in achieving our goal of increasing Person Centered ISP planning. We cannot do this without that information. Next, I want to thank the CQL Accreditation Committee for their hard work, insights, and determination to meet our objectives. The Committee included: Sandi Swan, Sam Laganaro, Andrea Pollack, Jayne Violon, Barbara Mika, Fran Sitter, Nancy Howell, Terri Nightengale, Mae Smith, Beverly Kaufman, Lou Antonelli, and special thanks to Monica Robinson for chairing the

BUZZ sub-committee (Sarah C., Chris R., Sandi S., Bill B., Re-gis O., Mary M., Beth C., John C., Steve G., Mark and Matt R.) A special thanks to Tom McCluskey and Dan Lynch for their extra work with becoming Certified Interviewers and all the extra assignments that comes with that (training, scheduling, monitoring processes etc.) Of course there were many others who have contributed to our effort so far: Adirondack ARC, Liberty ARC, Peg Gould (consultant), many people at CQL including Jill, Albert, Jeff and Bob. We have many staff members that have become Trained Interviewers and have been conducting interviews,

writing summaries and developing ISP life goal information. This group includes House Coordi-nators, Nurses, DSP’s, Clinical, Managements, MSC and support staff. During our workshop there was great help from the NHF and NHR Boards, Community business people, the DDSO and several family members.

I want to thank everyone for their time, effort, and success to this point in the CQL journey. Congratulations to US!

Attached to these comments is my summary of two very important articles in the July 10 and July 11 issues of The Poughkeepsie Journal that are harshly critical of the institutional care provided at the Taconic developmental center in Wassaic. I have also enclosed links to the complete articles which I encourage you to read. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110712012 http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110712011 http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011110712014 http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/print/article/20110712/NEWS01/110712011/State-reopening-probes-into-3-Wassaic-deaths These articles in our local newspaper, similar to those printed several weeks ago by the New York Times, depict examples of extreme abuse, neglect and mistreatment at nearly every level of the State-operated service system for people with developmental disabilities. Why should we be concerned with these stories in the media? Doesn’t New Horizons provide excellent services, unlike these examples? • We should be concerned for the welfare of all persons with disabilities, no matter where they are living or receiving supports and services. • We should be outraged when we learn that persons are being treated inhumanly, and these negative examples should spur us on toward a greater commitment to live NHR’s ethical and unifying principles: integrity, positive relationships, respect, innovation, learning, person-centered supports, physical and emotional well-being, confidentiality, self-determination, advocacy, justice, fairness and equity. • We should realize that the public will generalize these negative examples to all services for people with developmental disabilities and therefore include us incorrectly in their judgments. In other words, this painting of abuse is made with a “broad brush.” • We should realize that no one is perfect, and that New Horizons has its own examples of occasional embarrassingly bad behavior. Our organization’s attempt to gain national accreditation with the Council on Quality and Leadership is a systemic and cultural commitment to channel our thinking and behavior toward noble person-centered service. We want this to be in our DNA. There is a big difference between avoiding negative behavior and committing ourselves to do the right thing for the right reason every time. We must always be vigilant with bad behavior, but we must have a deeper commitment to always shaping a culture characterized by good and proper behavior. Our work, enabling others to realize their human potentials, is important not only for individuals with developmental disabilities but it is also a noble example to the entire world of how we should treat each other.

I ask that these newspaper stories, our understanding of our own comportment and our collective commitment to high quality service be discussed openly at all meetings at New Horizons. Let us affirm our positive direction and challenge ourselves to greater excellence. Thank you. The newspaper articles: a summary

A. The Poughkeepsie Journal July 10: “Doctors: Paperwork, punishment thwart workers, protect brass; State re-opening probes into death”

a. Physicians and psychologists were very critical of the Taconic developmental center in Wassaic. i. “numerous policy and paperwork demands…work to undermine staff and protect higher ups—while failing to ensure good care.” ii. Dr. Anna Timell, medical director for nine years up to 2006 said: 1. “the system has failed the employee as much as it failed the clients….OPWDD is a very adversarial, very abusive employer.”

2. “I don’t think the average person has a clue how difficult it can be to care for a person like that….I never saw such a group of people exposed to personal physical violence as direct care care work-ers…but some have a very short trigger.”

iii. Dr. Marietta Angelotti: “While some staff were caring, I felt others were aggressive and abusive….” iv. A former psychologist: “Although Wassaic’s policy was to use gentler means of control first, it was often ignored.”

B. The Poughkeepsie Journal July 11: “An accidental death, serious lapses in care: money pit, money make, ills of the institution” by Mary Beth Pfeiffer

a. Recounting of five deaths i. Janice Hall (50): Physical intervention; death due to “complications following…spinal cord injury” 12/31/08. Finding: neglect substantiated. ii. Henry Thompson (80): Nurse said she called code stat but the phone system was down (not true); “foreign body (vomit) in respiratory tree”; CPR discontinued prematurely. 1/21/09. Finding: neglect substantiated. iii. Milagros Gonzales (48): “respiratory distress”; Nurse called ambulance but “did not check on Millie until after ambulance arrive.” The nurse remained on smoke break. Cause of death was “other diseases of the lung.” 9/14/09. Finding: neglect substantiated. iv. Unknown (77): NYS Commission on Quality of Care reported “”the feed ing tube had been misplaced in the peritoneum instead of the stomach” by the attending physician, Dr. Anil Tripathy whose practicing privileges were suspended in three hospitals in the past. Cause of death “unspecified peritonitis”. 8/20/06. Finding: neglect substantiated. v. Benny Cestone (47): “hit in back of head by another resident”…several days later “he was unable to walk…seizure activity….” Cause of death : “unspecified intracranial hemorrhage.” 2/19/06. Finding: no deficiencies in care.

C. “Sunday night was called ‘Hell Night’ in Grant Hall” a. no supervisor scheduled b. “a renegade band of staff would taunt and tease the developmentally disabled residents in care.” c. a resident “swung at staff and staff punched and kicked…later the same staff hit the resident in the head with the log book, asked him if it hurt, staff approached him and drove his foot heel side down into the resident’s buttocks.” d. Of the five staff involved, “one was placed on probation and transferred to another unit. e. “Two others face no disciplinary charges and still work” at TDDSO. f. One resigned and was later rehired g. The fifth was fired three years later D. Failure of the system to protect a. OPWDD (Office for Persons With Developmental Disabilities) demands detailed accountability in picayune matters but misses the larger responsibility to protect people with disabilities and fails to take appropriate disciplinary action when people are injured or worse. b. CQCAPD (Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for persons with Disabilities) has also failed to investigate completely and take bold action on behalf of persons with disabilities. E. OPWDD’s new administration a. “zero tolerance policy for abuse” b. will “suspend without pay anyone who intentionally abuses or neglects individuals.” c. previously terminated employees will not be rehired d. requirements: high school diploma, drug screen, psychological test e. investigations will be coordinated with central office. F. Taconic DDSO ranked seventh of ninth for its rate of substantiated abuse: 36%.

1. Staten Island : 50% 2. Finger Lakes (Rochester) : 48% 3. Capital District (Schenectady): 48% 4. Broome (Binghamton): 44% 5. Bernard Fineson (Brooklyn) : 40% 6. Bernard Fineson (Queens): 40% 7. Taconic (Wassaic): 36% 8. Sunmount (Tupper Lake): 26% 9. Valley Ridge (Norwich): 16%
