PARTICIPATING INDIVIDUALS ARE REFERRED TO AS MEMBERS OR CLIENTS DEPENDING UPON WHICH SERVICE THEY ENGAGE (HEREAFTER "MEMBERS") AND RANGE IN AGE FROM 18 TO 60+ YEARS OF AGE AND FROM SIX MONTHS TO 30+ YEARS POST-INJURY. MEMBERS ALSO RANGE IN ABILITY FROM REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE ON BASIC TASKS TO THOSE WHO ARE MORE INDEPENDENT IN DAILY ACTIVITIES PLAYING A MENTORING ROLE TO OTHERS. THE AGENCY CONDUCTS ITS ACTIVITIES AS COMMUNITY BRAIN INJURY SERVICES. THE AGENCY'S ACTIVITIES ARE PATTERNED AFTER THE CLUBHOUSE MODEL OF PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION ("CLUBHOUSE") CREATED BY MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND ACTIVELY IN USE FOR MORE THAN EIGHT DECADES. CLUBHOUSE PROGRAMS FOLLOW A STRICT SET OF GUIDELINES; ONE KEY COMPONENT TO THE CLUBHOUSE PHILOSOPHY IS AN EMPHASIS ON THE POWER OF WORK, A CENTRAL THEME IN OUR ADULT SOCIETY THAT DEFINES MANY INDIVIDUALS. THROUGH WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE AGENCY'S TRAINED STAFF, MEMBERS GAIN THE NECESSARY WORK SKILLS, BEHAVIORS, AND SELF-CONFIDENCE TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL VOCATIONALLY AND IN DAILY LIFE. THE AGENCY OPERATES TWO CLUBHOUSES (THE MILL HOUSE IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AND THE DENBIGH HOUSE IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA), EACH DESIGNED TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF GROWTH, NEW POSSIBILITIES, AND ON-GOING SUPPORT LEADING TO IMPROVED SOCIAL AND VOCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL. THE AGENCY ALSO PROVIDES INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURIES LIVING IN A WIDE LOCALITY SERVICE AREA. GEOGRAPHIC AREAS HISTORICALLY SERVED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA INCLUDE HENRICO COUNTY, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, CITY OF HAMPTON, CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS, YORK COUNTY, THE CITY OF RICHMOND AND TWELVE (12) OTHER LOCALITIES IN THE METRO RICHMOND AND VIRGINIA PENINSULA GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. IN 2023, THE AGENCY EXPANDED SERVICES TO INCLUDE SEVEN NEW LOCALITIES: SURRY, DINWIDDIE AND PRINCE GEORGE COUNTIES AND FOUR ADDITIONAL COUNTIES IN THE MIDDLE PENINSULA GEOGRAPHIC AREA. CASE MANAGEMENT IS A COLLABORATIVE SERVICE OF ASSISTING AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S FAMILY OR SUPPORT SYSTEM BY IDENTIFYING AND ACCESSING THE NEEDS OF A MEMBER AND DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN TO BEST MEET THOSE NEEDS. THE AGENCY IS ACCREDITED THROUGH THE COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF REHABILITATION FACILITIES ("CARF"). CARF IS AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED NON-PROFIT ACCREDITING BODY THAT PROVIDES ACCREDITATION IN THE HUMAN SERVICES FIELD FOCUSING ON THE AREAS OF REHABILITATION, EMPLOYMENT AND COMMUNITY, CHILD AND FAMILY, AND AGING SERVICES. CARF PROVIDES THREE LEVELS OF ACCREDITATION RANGING FROM ACCREDITATION WITH STIPULATIONS TO A FULL THREE-YEAR ACCREDITATION. SINCE 2006, THE AGENCY HAS RECEIVED CARF'S HIGHEST ACCREDITATION, THE THREE-YEAR ACCREDITATION WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT THE AGENCY (1) SATISFIES EACH OF THE CARF ACCREDITATION CONDITIONS, (2) DEMONSTRATES SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMITY TO SPECIFIC STANDARDS OF QUALITY, AND (3) MAINTAINS PROGRAMS DESIGNED AND OPERATED TO BENEFIT THE PERSONS IT SERVES. THE AGENCY RECENTLY COMPLETED ITS TRIENNIAL CARF ACCREDITATION SURVEY AND WAS AWARDED A 3 YEAR ACCREDITATION, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACCREDITATION. NOTABLY, THE AGENCY RECEIVED ZERO RECOMMENDATIONS ON ITS MOST RECENT SURVEY, ONLY 3% OF ALL CARF ACCREDITED ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVE AN ACCREDITATION RESULT WITH ZERO RECOMMENDATIONS. THE AGENCY'S ACCREDITATION IS THROUGH OCTOBER 2028. FROM JULY 1, 2024 TO JUNE 30, 2025, THE AGENCY PROVIDED SERVICES TO 690 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS DURING THE YEAR REPRESENTING AN INCREASE OF OVER 21% FROM THE 569 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS SERVICES IN THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. THIS INCREASE IS DUE TO THE ADDITION OF AN INTAKE COORDINATOR POSITION STREAMLINING OUR INTAKE PROCESS FOR OUR CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INCREASING OUR CAPACITY TO HANDLE MORE INTAKES, INFORMATION AND REFERRALS, AND CONSULTATIONS. WITH INCREASED FUNDING IN OUR STATE CONTRACT, WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL CASE MANAGER IN OUR RICHMOND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICE AREA, INCREASING THE CAPACITY TO SERVE MORE INDIVIDUALS IN THE METRO RICHMOND AREA AS WELL. THE AGENCY PROVIDED SERVICES IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FORMATS, DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL ACCESSING SERVICES, INCLUDING 268 ACTIVE CASES, 315 CASE CONSULTATIONS, AND 315 INFORMATION AND REFERRAL CASES. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, THE AGENCY PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 5,001 DAYS OF SERVICES AT ITS CLUBHOUSES, WITH A NOTABLE INCREASE AT OUR MILL HOUSE PROGRAM IN RICHMOND- BRINGING OUR MILL HOUSE PROGRAM TO A WAITLIST BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. OUR CASE MANAGERS MAINTAIN REGULAR IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL, PHONE, AND EMAIL CONTACT WITH THE CLIENTS THEY SERVE, AND THE CRITICAL MEMBERS OF THEIR TREATMENT TEAM. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025, CASE MANAGERS HAD 5,854 INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS WITH INDIVIDUALS SERVED AND ASSOCIATED TEAM MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, CASE MANAGERS AND CLUBHOUSE STAFF WORKED WITH INDIVIDUALS SERVED TO CREATE AND ATTEMPT 3,104 SEPARATE CLIENT AND MEMBER GOALS.
