Two Mission-Driven Nonprofits – Woods System of Care and St. Mary Medical Center – Partner to Provide Quality Health Care

September 30, 2022

Woods System of Care, a Pennsylvania and New Jersey-based nonprofit organization that serves approximately 22,000 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral and mental health challenges, and acquired brain injuries, and St. Mary Medical Center and Nazareth Hospital, part of Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic ­ the largest Catholic healthcare system serving the Greater Philadelphia area, are pleased to announce their partnership to ensure high quality healthcare for the individuals Woods’ serves and the dedicated and compassionate staff who care for them.

 

“This partnership makes sense on many levels for both St. Mary Medical Center and Woods,” said Michael Magro, DO, MBA, FACOI, “but the biggest benefits will be realized within our community. As two organizations with ‘caring’ at the core, our values and philosophies align; both strive toward innovation and clinical excellence. My colleagues and I look forward to a renewed relationship with the residents and staff of Woods to provide the best healthcare possible.”

 

Dr. Magro was named president of St. Mary Medical Center in July of this year. He also serves as president of Nazareth Hospital, a role he has held since 2018. Under his leadership has come a renewed commitment by two of Bucks County’s largest nonprofit employers to collaborate on innovative healthcare solutions that ensure equity and excellence. Dr. Magro became acquainted with Woods’ president and CEO, Tine Hansen-Turton, shortly after taking the helm at St. Mary, and these two leaders quickly found a way for Woods and St. Mary to work more closely together.

 

“Dr. Magro is an innovative and dynamic leader who believes in the power of building strong and lasting relationships with community stakeholders, as demonstrated by this new collaboration. Both St. Mary and Woods are committed to improving the overall health and well-being of our community and this agreement is just the beginning of that effort,” stated Hansen-Turton. Next steps will likely include activities to improve health equities in Bucks County generally and to help train St. Mary’s residents and practitioners in caring for the special needs population, she said.

 

“St. Mary and Woods have been neighbors for a long time, but in a sense we are new to each other – and that makes our journey of opportunity together even more exciting,” Dr. Magro said.

Woods Creates Comprehensive Community Home, Ending a Yearlong Hospitalization

November 16, 2021

 

Nowhere to Go

 

On August 24, 2021, GK arrived at his new home. This is a special home, where he has intensive staff supervision and his day is very structured with activities of his choosing. Staff take him for walks in the neighborhood and nearby parks. They also schedule recreational activities at Woods campus, like swimming, animal therapy, and visits to the playgrounds where he plays basketball.

 

In the six weeks since his arrival, GK’s progress has been extraordinary. Once withdrawn, he used to isolate himself to his own room, but now wants to be outside. He also enjoys playing board games with staff and socializing with residents at Woods. He has even begun to learn how to play the guitar and loves to sing and listen to music – his form of music therapy – and is looking forward to showcasing his musical flair in an upcoming talent show. Most importantly, he is happy.

 

But, life wasn’t always like this for GK – he had found himself trapped in a dark, dead-end. In August 2020, for the second time since graduating from a successful residential program, followed by placement in an adult community-based group home, GK was in crisis and required inpatient hospitalization. Unfortunately, this was not a typical short-term admission – it dragged on for more than a year!

 

Why did GK experience this trauma? At age 21, while living in the group home, his mental condition began to deteriorate, resulting in extremely aggressive behaviors that led to property damage and multiple injuries to staff. Staff at the group home no longer felt they could safely manage GK, so they sent him to the hospital. A return to their care was not an option. Alternative providers did not feel they had the infrastructure and supports to meet his complex needs. Because no other provider was willing to accept him, GK remained in the hospital with no light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Stuck with nowhere else to go, GK stayed in his room – isolated – with little to no opportunity to socialize with anyone other than hospital staff. Because he was placed on a medical floor vs. a psychiatric floor, he had limited access to any activities or areas outside of his room. The staff did their best to engage GK and keep him occupied, but they struggled to provide the structure and routine he needed. This led to frustration and explosive behaviors that resulted in property destruction and aggression that required lengthy wrist and ankle restraints, medication, and a great deal of staffing resources.

 

GK’s predicament came to the attention of Woods’ Admissions team early into his hospitalization. However, due to funding restrictions, Woods residential campus was not a viable option for GK, and Woods was not developing community-based group homes at that time. Several months later, with GK still languishing in the hospital, Woods was again approached about the development of a community-based group home. This was a combined approach between the state, county, and managed behavioral health officials suggesting a coordinated, collaborative effort to design, implement and fund a group home with the specific, person-centered supports needed to serve GK’s needs.

 

Woods stepped up to the challenge by creating a unique provider for adults who require the highest level of care and staffing – Woods Community Services (WCS ). WCS provides specialized community group homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and significant behavioral and/or medical complexities who cannot safely receive services in traditional group homes. WCS is an extension of Woods’ continuum of care – a home in the community with access to outpatient mental health care, medical care, and recreational supports.

 

Woods set out to welcome GK as the very first resident of WCS. A home with an open floor plan was found for him, as his outbursts would usually happen in tight areas that put himself and staff at risk. Staff also took time to make it welcoming for GK by incorporating his favorite colors and Spiderman accessories in the decor. They also created a sensory room where GK can engage in calming activities when he is feeling overwhelmed. During the two months leading up to his transition from the hospital, WCS clinician Wadeeha Henderson visited GK frequently. Working closely with the hospital staff, she focused on identifying his emotional triggers and developed measures to prevent his behaviors.

 

So much progress in so little time! Instead of choosing isolation, he now seeks opportunities to engage in activities with other people. And, once prone to explosive behaviors that resulted in lengthy wrist and ankle restraints, he has had no behavioral incidents since his arrival at WCS. GK’s mother, who visits him frequently, has told staff, “I’m so grateful for all the work you’ve done!”

 

Wadeeha, or “Miss Dee” as GK likes to call her, conducts therapy sessions with him multiple times a week and has found that his aggressive behaviors come from feelings he doesn’t understand and can’t articulate. She takes walks with him and gives him positive reinforcement that these feelings are ok – that we all get happy, sad, or angry sometimes. This has been key to GK’s success. He can now identify what he is feeling and is beginning to understand more complex feelings like confusion and frustration. Being able to identify these feelings and acknowledging why he is feeling that way (“I’m sad because I miss my mother” or “I’m angry because I can’t go swimming today”) is helping him to engage in more positive behaviors and social interactions. She is also teaching him life skills and coping strategies that help him deal with his emotions. For example, GK is very competitive, and losing has been a big trigger for him. Wadeeha has taught him that sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, but the point is to have fun. He has put this into practice. When he is playing basketball with someone and loses, instead of having a behavior, he says, “Good game . . . I had fun!”

 

Always looking for creative solutions, Wadeeha has also incorporated one aspect of the Sanctuary Model in GK’s treatment. Sanctuary is a trauma-informed, evidence-supported model based on actively creating and maintaining a nonviolent, democratic, productive community to help people heal from trauma. She works with GK during every therapy session on identifying daily goals and current feelings, and offers supports to help him achieve behavioral success. The activity (answering the same three questions) is written on a whiteboard in his sensory room. Left there during the day, it serves as an encouragement to achieve the behavior goals that he has identified.

 

Wadeeha has also spent a great deal of time training the direct support professionals who work with GK, so they know his triggers and what preventative measures are needed to avoid negative behaviors. And, because of GK’s history of aggressive behaviors that resulted in restraints, Wadeeha plans to reinforce Ukeru training for staff who work with him. The Ukeru Method is a proactive, trauma-informed, restraint-free crisis management system that is nationally recognized as a best practice in restraint reduction. As a part of Woods’ efforts to create a culture of comfort, rather than one of control, for both the individuals it serves and its staff, Woods engaged Grafton Integrated Health Network. In 2017, the network began providing technical assistance and training in Ukeru and it is achieving remarkable results. Since its implementation, Woods has achieved a 53.5% reduction in the use of physical restraints. Using role-play, Wadeeha will give staff practical training on how to use Ukeru to de-escalate the situation if GK has a behavior in the future.

 

Less than one month after coming to WCS, GK has had no negative, aggressive behaviors. He has experienced increased community and social integration, and has learned how to express himself in a more socially acceptable way. His success demonstrates the need for a setting like WCS. Other programs have failed to help GK overcome his behavioral challenges. His six weeks at WCS have proven that this new model can give him the skills, emotional support, and security he needs to succeed in life.

Sadly, there are hundreds of adults in Pennsylvania who, like GK, can’t find an appropriate placement or be served in a traditional group home. They get stuck on waiting lists, and some languish in hospitals, psychiatric wards, or state facilities. Woods is now preparing to welcome them to WCS.

 

GK’s story shows that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges faced by people with severe behavioral challenges. The right living arrangement and clinical supports can make all the difference. WCS is an extension of Woods’ continuum of care – a home in the community, access to outpatient mental health care, medical care, and recreational supports. People with intellectual/developmental disabilities and complex behavioral and/or medical challenges have the right to receive the services they need in the most appropriate setting. WCS is an example of how Woods is always looking for ways to improve its services and create more choices for individuals that support their health, safety, and well-being.

 

GK is no longer trapped. He is now in a place full of light and life. In keeping with one of his favorite songs, Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, GK said, “I’m living the life today!”

Your unrestricted gift to “Woods’ Greatest Need” gives Woods the flexible resources to develop new nonprofits, like WCS, that are aligned with Woods’ mission to meet the unique needs of individuals like G.K. who have the right to receive the services they need, in the setting that is most appropriate for them. Your gift today will make that possible!

 

 

 

What Makes Woods Community Services Unique?

 

Woods Community Services (WCS) provides specialized community group homes and outpatient mental health services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and significant behavioral and/or medical complexities who reside in Pennsylvania and cannot be safely served in traditional group homes.

 

The need stems from individuals with I/DD who “age out” of their educational program when they turn 21. Approximately 25% of these individuals cannot secure an appropriate placement due to the intensity of their behavioral issues and/or medical complexities. The lack of community-based settings that can manage such challenges denies many individuals the opportunity to step down to a less restrictive setting and gain other independent living skills.

 

Woods and its affiliate, Legacy Treatment Services, have partnered to develop WCS as a provider of multiple group home settings in the surrounding Bucks County and Philadelphia areas with intensive programming and supports to serve the complex needs of these individuals. The homes will be near Woods campus, so that services and supports offered can be easily accessed, including comprehensive medical care, psychiatric services, vocational opportunities, and recreational activities. Additional services may also include mobile Behavioral Supports (BCBA), Family Therapy, or Allied Therapies.

 

Staff are Bachelor’s level and must have at least one-year of experience in residential and/or behavioral health care with experience working with behaviorally challenged individuals, including implementation of behavioral and therapeutic interventions and de-escalation.
Clinical staff must be licensed and direct support professionals (DSPs) receive more training than a typical DSP.

 

The WCS model implements trauma-informed care for individuals with the most challenging behaviors. WCS is also an extension of Woods’ continuum of care – a home in the community, access to outpatient mental health care, medical care, and recreational supports for individuals as they work toward achieving their goals and happiness.

Woods Services Awarded $100,000 Grant to Expand Access to Primary Care for People with Intellectual Disabilities

April 8, 2021

Woods, a New Jersey- and Pennsylvania-based life cycle care management organization, received one of the first Inclusive Health Communities Grants from the N.J. Department of Human Services’ Division of Disability Services

 

LANGHORNE, P.A. (April 5, 2021) –Woods Services, a Pennsylvania and New Jersey-based nonprofit organization, was recently awarded a $100,000 capacity building grant to increase access to primary care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and mental health challenges who experience significant disparities in access to care and health outcomes. With the funding, Woods will establish an integrated and inclusive primary care practice within or adjacent to Salem Medical Center, a hospital destination of choice for those living in or around Salem County, N.J. The initiative is funded by an Inclusive Healthy Communities Grant from the Division of Disability Services, New Jersey Department of Human Services, and administered by Rutgers University Bloustein School of Public Policy and Planning. Woods is one of the first recipients of an Inclusive Health Communities Grant, a program that launched in January. This national initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focuses on policy, systems and environmental change to create inclusive healthy communities.

 

Woods’ project, titled “Expanding Access to Primary Care for People with Intellectual Disabilities,” will be implemented over the next nearly 18 months. Other program partners include Woods’ affiliates Allies, Inc., located in Hamilton Township, N.J., and Legacy Treatment Services in Mount Holly, N.J., that along with three other human services nonprofits, comprise Woods’ life-cycle management and advocacy organization serving 22,000 people with disabilities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

 

Woods will conduct a needs assessment of health care access and experience among people with disabilities, their families and provider organizations to further inform project planning. In addition, an inclusive primary care practice will be established over the 18-month timeline, serving community members with and without disabilities in Salem County and surrounding areas. Outcomes will be documented and shared. The health care model proposed will be replicable throughout New Jersey where there are documented shortages of primary care providers and gaps in services.

 

The grant builds on the successful patient-centered medical home model employed by the Medical Center at Woods located at the Langhorne campus. Woods utilizes quality care coordination as well as the deployment of nurse practitioners as primary care providers. Woods’ model places an emphasis on prevention and management of chronic conditions thereby reducing unnecessary and costly emergency room (ER) visits and hospitalizations.

 

Children and adults with IDD and mental health challenges experience multiple barriers to healthcare access, including finding providers who are willing to take the time often needed for longer patient visits and are trained to overcome communication, behavioral or other challenges. Additionally, children and adults with IDD and behavioral challenges tend to have more complex medical issues than those without. When their intellectual disability is linked to a variety of genetic disorders, the medical challenges may significantly exceed those of persons without such genetic conditions.

 

The proposed primary care settings are adapted to mobility, communication and sensory needs, delivered by providers who are well-versed in the care of people with disabilities and complex needs, and who are able to accommodate and overcome barriers to care resulting from those complex challenges. The project will focus primarily on Salem County and adjacent counties which have gaps in access to care, and where project partners have a strong presence serving individuals with IDD and mental health challenges and their families.

 

“As a life-cycle care management organization, we are grateful for this grant that will enable people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and challenges to receive first-rate healthcare in a setting that meets their needs, provided by people with expertise in treating their complex conditions,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, president and CEO, Woods Services. “For many people with IDD and mental health challenges, who often have complicated medical needs, the ability to reduce environmental disruptions while providing them with exceptional healthcare is truly a game changer.”

 

“We were truly excited to support Woods in their grant-seeking efforts to bring integrated and primary care services for people with intellectual disabilities,” said Dr. Tammy Torres, CEO, Salem Medical Center. “Bringing these behavioral health services to our community is part of our strategic vision building on the opening of our adult Psychiatric Unit by bringing in complementary and integrated mental health programming.”

 

This initiative was funded (or funded in part) by an Inclusive Healthy Communities Grant from the Division of Disability Services, New Jersey Department of Human Services.

How to Take Time for Yourself: A Guide for Parents

March 9, 2015

Did you ever wonder why flight attendants instruct parents to put their oxygen masks on before assisting children? How could this be the right thing to do?  Isn’t putting yourself first both selfish and bad parenting?  Actually it makes perfect sense.  If you place the mask on your child first, no one would be around to help him/her after you pass out. Taking the time to place the mask on first, ensures that you will have the energy to assist. The same is true of parenting your child on a daily basis.

 

Taking care of ourselves, as parents, prevents us from getting burnt out. It allows us time to re-group, rest and most importantly, have a little me time, but for parents of special needs children, the idea of self-care, might be somewhat foreign. In the easiest form, self-care can be those stolen moments like sitting and having a cup of coffee, relaxing with a good book, or taking a bath.  Other times it can be something a bit more active like exercising, meeting up with friends, a long drive or even a weekend away. Moments like these are tough for any parent, but for parents whose children have extra special needs, it can be nearly impossible to get even a minute to yourself.

 

How to make it happen

 

Take advantage of the time you’re alone

Instead of running to the grocery store, post office and car wash while the kids are in school, use that time to get a haircut or meet a friend for lunch. Save the not-so-fun-stuff for later! In the summer, enroll your son or daughter in a camp or activities program for special needs. This list reflects many here in PA, but these types of camps are all over the US. Time apart can be good for both you and your child.

 

Think it

Practicing relaxation, visualization, journaling, yoga, or meditation may help quiet those negative, self-defeating thoughts that make us feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. Positive thinking helps too! Research has found that you can reduce stress by repeating a positive word to yourself for 20 minutes a day. What will your word be?

Whatever activity you do for yourself, it should serve to re-energize and re-focus you, leaving you better able to care for your child and deal with the challenges that the family may encounter.

 

 

STRESS is a choice.  RESISTANCE is a choice.  JOY is a choice.  Choose wisely!

5 Easy Steps to Becoming a Runner

February 23, 2015

Beginning something new is always scary—but following these 5 simple steps, will make the journey to becoming an experienced runner, much less stressful!

 

Step 1: Buy a pair of running shoes

 

For those who have never run before, having the perfect pair of running shoes is crucial. Having a good pair of sneakers will prevent injuries and allow for a smoother run. The right pair should offer the following:

 

  • Make sure there is enough “wiggle room” between your big toe and the front of the sneaker
  • Proper arch support
  • Strong laces

Sneakers don’t have to be expensive; websites such as runningwearhouse.com and 6pm.com offer discounted running shoes. Although both have an easy return process, I recommend visiting your local shoe store to find the pair that fits best and is most comfortable, then making the purchase through one of those sites.

 

Step 2: Get up and get out!

 

You have the shoes, now get moving! Taking the first step is the hardest, but is often the most rewarding.  Set aside a time that you are able to exercise each day. I prefer to work out in the morning; it allows me to start the day feeling fresh and energized and it’s one less thing I have to do later! 30 minutes of physical activity a day is recommended, but if you can’t allot that much time, than begin with 10 or 15 minutes. And don’t forget the warm-up! The hamstrings, quads, calves, and groin are the most important muscles to stretch.

 

Step 3: Begin with a walk

 

Walking helps to train our bodies for running later on. Begin a fast pace walking routine 3 to 5 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes.  Continue walking each day until you feel comfortable and think you can take things to the next step…jogging!

 

Step 4: Now we are ready to jog!

 

Jogging builds a foundation for running. Incorporate jogging and walking, switching on and off between the two. Begin your workout walking and as you feel comfortable jog for a few minutes and then walk again. When I first began running, I walked a block, then jogged a block, then walked, jogged, etc. As you feel stronger, increase the amount of blocks you jog. Eventually, you’ll be able to jog the entire route!

 

Step 5: Run, Run, Run!

 

Remember to begin each run with a brisk walk or jog and then transfer into a run at a pace that works for you! As you become stronger, you can build from there and increase your distance and how many times a week you want to run.

 

Happy running!
