Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our main goal is that every child placed in our care will receive the needed love, care, and treatment to heal the hurts of the past. We also work with the families and provide the needed counseling to heal the home as well. It is our aim to get the child back with their biological parents if at all possible. If this goal is unattainable, then we work to find a future adoptive home for the child.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our main strategy for achieving our goal is a well educated and trained clinical, direct care, and administrative staff. Each child is assessed upon entry into the program. Their physical and emotional needs are documented and appropriate treatment plans are set in motion. Constant supervision and direction is given by our clinical and direct care staff during the entire treatment program. Therapists are also made available to the families of our residents in order to provide support and retraining. Being a faith-based program, we also provide spiritual help to our residents. Church attendance and devotions are part of the weekly program on our campus.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our trained staff and top rated facility enable us to accomplish our main goals. We also have access to many outside resources through our licensing agencies and our partnership with DCS. Our accreditation with Council on Accreditation also gives us the support and coverage needed to perform all of our tasks.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The most important measurement in the PBC data is the total number of care days. PBC has three measurements: the baseline (the number of care days that any institution would be expected to maintain), the target (the number of care days expected of our institution based on our history), and the actual. For the current fiscal count, our baseline number is 61,106 our target number is 54,995 and our actual is 55,995. In reading PBC data, you are always looking to have less care days per calendar year. In light of this, we had a good year because we were under by 5,111 days in relation to the baseline number of care days (which compares us with care facilities nationwide). We met our baseline and came within only 100 days of our target. This is considered very successful.
