Neuro News A newsletter from NeuroRestorative Brain Injury Awareness Month 2014 Voices of Brain Injury: “What Helps?” Every day at NeuroRestorative we witness firsthand the amazing stories of bravery, compassion and dedication of those whose lives have been affected by brain injury. Whether these stories are told by survivors themselves, their family members, or those who dedicate their careers to serving these individuals, they illustrate the powerful impact postacute brain injury rehabilitation has for people on the road to recovery. In recognition of March as Brain Injury Awareness Month, NeuroRestorative introduced the second annual Voices of Brain Injury campaign. The campaign provides a platform for those who are affected by brain injury to tell their stories in their own words. This year’s theme, “What Helps?” invited creative submissions, including poetry and works of art that addressed the question of what helps most in the process of recovery from brain injury. Visit our website at www.neurorestorative.com or Facebook.com/NeuroRestorative to see all of the submissions.

Message from the COO Dear Friends, As I prepared to write this message and introduce the Spring 2014 edition of NeuroNews, I took a few moments to look back at previous issues and began to reflect on where we have been as an organization and where we are going in the future. Our bi-annual editions of NeuroNews highlight important milestones and continued progress for our organization, featuring new states and program locations, innovative and growing service lines—and most importantly—the individuals we serve who are reaching their rehabilitation goals in communities across the country. As the largest provider of post-acute, community-based brain injury rehabilitation services in the country, we are proud of our rich history and our ability to expand services to meet the needs of brain injury survivors and their families. We’ve grown from a single-state provider in Illinois to a national organization serving adults, children, Military Service Members and Veterans in 22 states. In this issue, we’re highlighting NeuroRestorative’s first program in the Sunshine State located in Tampa, Florida—which is marking its 15year anniversary in 2014. You can read more about this milestone on page 3. Turn to page 10 to read about our newest locations and programs including Gaithersburg, Maryland and Indianapolis, Indiana and page 8 for more on our latest outcomes data.

Spring 2014

As an organization, we measure our success through the achievements of those we serve. Just last month we celebrated Brain Injury Awareness Month with the 2014 Voices of Brain Injury campaign which gave the individuals we serve, their families and our employees an opportunity to share their experiences living with brain injury. It was inspiring to read about what each person found helpful and see the positive and determined attitudes of the individuals we serve. Turn to page 1 to read more.

The success of the individuals we serve would not be possible without the exceptional support of our dedicated staff. On page 6 we highlight our first and second quarter NeuroRestorative Heroes, employees who were nominated by colleagues for their actions that go above and beyond to support the needs of our participants or their colleagues. Nothing we have accomplished as an organization would be possible without the commitment of these men and women and the thousands of other team members we have across the country. As always, I welcome your feedback on what you’d like to see in Neuro News. Please email your

suggestions to neuronews@neurorestorative.com. Sincerely,

He·ro [heer-oh]

Bill Duffy Chief Operating Officer

Meet Our NeuroRestorative Heroes: Going Above and Beyond page 6

1. a person who has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model.


Celebrating 15 Years in Tampa As NeuroRestorative Florida’s first location, the Tampa program stands as a reminder of NeuroRestorative’s beginnings and the organization’s continued success. Fifteen years ago, NeuroRestorative brought the organization’s proven community-based rehabilitation model to Tampa—meeting the unique needs of individuals with brain injury and their families in the Sunshine State. Today, Tampa is one of six programs in Florida. The Tampa program began in 1999 with three community-based homes offering Neurorehabilitation, Neurobehavioral and Supported Living. Since then, the Tampa location has expanded to provide a range of programs including Neurorehabilitation, Neurobehavioral, Supported Living, Day Treatment and Outpatient services in a variety of settings in Tampa and the surrounding communities. Supported by an exceptional clinical team—and many caring staff members—the Tampa program proved successful, continually growing over the years and acting as a catalyst for additional programs in the state. With its track record of success, Tampa was the inspiration for NeuroRestorative Avalon Park, the only inclusive, fully-accessible post-acute brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation program in Florida.

“We stayed true to our mission to provide quality, communitybased services to individuals with brain injury, which led to continued growth and positive outcomes.” -Mike Hofmeister, Vice President of Operations, NeuroRestorative As the first Executive Director of NeuroRestorative Florida, Mike Hofmeister was instrumental in the development of the Tampa program. Today, Hofmeister serves as Vice President of Operations for NeuroRestorative, leading operations and program development across the country. He is extremely proud of 3

the Tampa program and the impact it has had on hundreds of participants. “We brought our expertise and the proven rehabilitation model that was successful in Carbondale, Illinois to Florida where we focused on learning the unique needs of the individuals in the state,” Hofmeister explained. “We stayed true to our mission to provide quality, community-based services to individuals with brain injury, which led to continued growth and positive outcomes. We grew from a single program serving 13 participants to a provider serving hundreds of individuals throughout the state. I am proud of the programs we were able to build, the individuals we are able to serve and the hundreds of staff we employ.”

“The Tampa program has flourished over the last 15 years, and my career has flourished with it.” -Belinda Morales, Nursing Director, NeuroRestorative Florida At the core of Tampa’s success is the dedicated staff, many of whom have been with the program for more than a decade. Belinda Morales began her career as a Program Assistant with NeuroRestorative Florida’s Tampa program in March of 2000. With the organization for 14 years, Morales moved on to the Case Coordinator role, then onto the position of Residential Operation Manager. With Hofmeister’s support, she earned her LPN license and three years later returned to school to earn her RN license. Today, Morales is the Nursing Director and— with the full support of the NeuroRestorative Florida team—is attending courses to receive her bachelor’s degree in nursing. “I love what I do, I love our participants and can’t imagine being anywhere else,” said Morales. “The Tampa program has flourished over the last 15 years, and my career has flourished with it. Mike has been a great mentor, and everyone at NeuroRestorative Florida has been so supportive of my professional growth. I’m lucky to have found such a great opportunity and working environment.” 3


NeuroRestorative National Capital Partners with Warrior Canine Connection NeuroRestorative National Capital, located in Germantown, Maryland—and exclusively serving Veterans and Military Service Members—has established a unique partnership with the Warrior Canine Connection (WCC). Founded in 2011, WCC’s mission is to breed and train therapy dogs to support wounded veterans. Each dog spends nearly two years preparing for their therapy assignment with a “puppy parent.” The puppies attend weekly training sessions at the WCC center and spend time in a therapeutic environment with wounded Veterans who serve as their “trainers” and may be suffering from PTSD or have sustained a TBI. The benefits of this are twofold: the dogs receive training and exposure to the population they will be placed with, while the Veterans—who serve as trainers—benefit from the therapeutic value of the dogs’ presence. Navi, a Golden Retriever, was assigned to NeuroRestorative’s National Capitol program—a communitybased residence for Veterans and Active Duty Service Members living with brain injury—during his training and to “puppy parent” Katie Gorman, a Life Skills Trainer in the home. Navi was a welcome addition to the house, providing wonderful therapeutic opportunities for the Veterans in the home. Upon his graduation from training in November 2013, Navi was officially assigned to the Germantown program as the home’s therapy dog. Soon after, the program welcomed another therapy dog trainee, Breeze, an adorable yellow lab puppy who will spend two years training with the participants and “puppy parent” Katie before being assigned permanently to a Veteran. “It is wonderful to watch the calming effect the dogs have on the participants, and their innate ability to sense when one of the participants needs their love, affection or distraction,” said Lisa Beach, NeuroRestorative National Capital’s Program Director. “Our participants enjoy having the dogs’ companionship and look forward to attending training sessions with Katie. It has been a great addition to our neurorehabilitation continuum.” 4

A Day at NeuroRestorative Timber Ridge -noun

Located on 300 acres outside Benton, Arkansas, NeuroRestorative Timber Ridge offers an idyllic setting for children and adolescents to receive the specialized brain injury supports, therapies and education they need in a setting that promotes growth and independence. Timber Ridge includes an Arkansas Board of Education-approved school and provides ample outdoor space for children to enjoy therapeutic and recreational activities, including a pond for fishing, a playground and a greenhouse. Our school, serving children ages 4-17, offers children and teens the opportunity to receive individualized brain injury rehabilitation services while continuing their education. The pediatric academic program includes a full curriculum appropriate for each child’s age and individualized goals to ensure they can continue to reach appropriate academic milestones during their recovery. NeuroRestorative’s interdisciplinary team of expert clinicians and special education professionals works closely with students and their families to ensure individual goals are met, and to facilitate a smooth transition home and into other educational environments. A typical day for the students begins at 7 am when students wake up and go through their morning routine, independently or with the support of the residential staff. At 9 am the school day starts with a 45 minute Home Room-type class where students review their daily schedule and any upcoming events. The rest of the day is broken up into 45 minute class periods with 15 minute breaks for students to make their way from class to class with support from staff as appropriate. Each student’s class schedule is based on their individual goals, and may include a mix of therapy sessions and traditional classes such as English, math, history and science. The school at Timber Ridge also offers learning groups which help young students develop social skills and friendships with their peers. The learning groups cover a range of topics and activities such as yoga, ‘Head Ed’—a class about the science behind brain injury—and wood shop. After school the children and teens return to their cabin-style residences to do homework and enjoy free time before dinner. This time provides opportunities for social engagement and often includes community outings with staff. After dinner there is additional free time, and participants may chose to make phone calls home or even participate in a Skype session with their family. Children come from across the country for NeuroRestorative Timber Ridge’s unique pediatric rehabilitation services, and our team recognizes that out of home treatment places a heavy burden on families. Near or far, family members are a big part of a child’s recovery and our staff works to bridge the distance by making themselves available for phone or inperson updates at the convenience of the family. Our staff also conduct family trainings on topics including diet, behavior management and home reintegration, whenever necessary. The Timber Ridge experience is truly a team effort. Staff members work closely with children and family members to ensure that they develop the skills they need to successfully transition back to their homes, schools and communities upon discharge.

Neurological Rehabilitation and Aging By: Frank D. Lewis, PhD & Gordon J. Horn, PhD For many years clinicians and researchers have believed that the brain’s ability to recover from injury decreases as we age. However, recent research has shown the brain’s remarkable ability to change in response to stimulating environments—otherwise known as brain plasticity— regardless of age.

This posed interesting questions for NeuroRestorative’s Dr. Frank Lewis, National Director of Clinical Outcome Services, and Dr. Gordon Horn, Deputy Director of Clinical Outcome Services & State Clinical Director:

• •

Does age have an impact on the effectiveness of post-acute rehabilitation? How does that progress compare to younger adults in the same program?

Dr. Lewis and Dr. Horn set out to find the answers. They examined the outcomes of 413 adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who received treatment from NeuroRestorative. The 413 participants were divided into six age groups: 18-24 (n=73), 25-34 (n=86), 35-44(n=70), 45-54 (n=97), 55-64 (n=68) and 65+ (n=19). Each participant was evaluated using the Mayo Portland Adaptability Inventory-Version 4 (MPAI-4) at admission and again at discharge. The MPAI-4 measures functional skills across three domains: Abilities (physical, cognitive and perceptual skills), Adjustment (emotional and behavioral skills) and Participation (home, social, community and vocational skills). The results were somewhat surprising. “First, and perhaps most notably, we found that no matter the age group, participants showed significant improvement from admission to discharge on the MPAI-4 Abilities, Adjustment and Participation indices,” explained Dr. Lewis. “This means that regardless of age, participants showed important reductions in disability and gains in independence after completing their program.”

MPAI-4 T-Score by Age Group Admission to Discharge Disability Score

Admission

What is an MPAI-4 T-Score?

Discharge

60

The MPAI-4 is the tool we use to assess the progress and outcomes of participants across all of our programs. The tool measures outcomes based upon 29 functional measures in the following three clinical areas of functioning: Ability, Adjustment, and Participation.

55 50 45

Why are the T-scores going down?

40

The decreased scores show a reduction of disability. In other words, our participants increased their levels of independence as their scores decreased.

35 30 18-24

25-34

35-44

45-54

55-64

65+

The second analysis examined differences between age groups in overall functioning. Based on conventional thinking, the expectation would be that the youngest age group would show the greatest improvement. However, the older groups showed similar improvement supporting the evolving view that among adults age may not be as significant a factor as once thought in brain plasticity. “The take home message is that all age groups improved as a result of post-acute neurological rehabilitation efforts,” said Dr. Horn. “This exciting finding tells us that regardless of age, recovery from brain injury is possible through participation in a strong post-acute rehabilitation program.”

Q&A

Staff Highlight: NeuroRestorative’s Kenley Freeman

Kenley Freeman recently joined NeuroRestorative as Contracts Manager, bringing with him nearly 30 years of experience in contract negotiation and management in the healthcare sector. Kenley sat down with NeuroNews to discuss his new role and his impressions after his first few months with NeuroRestorative. Q: Describe what you do as Contracts Manager for NeuroRestorative. A: My job as Contracts Manager is two-fold. I negotiate new contracts with payors across the country, which includes negotiation with new payors, rate changes to existing contracts and finding new funding streams. I also manage our existing contracts. My responsibilities allow me the chance to help support the company’s mission of serving more people in communities across the country. Q: Tell us a little about what you did before you came to NeuroRestorative. A: This is my first experience with brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation, but I have been working in health care contract negotiation for almost 30 years. I enjoy feeling like I am helping people when I go to work, even if I am not in direct care. Before coming to NeuroRestorative, I was in a contract management role with an insurance company, but previously held similar positions with other providers including UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts and York Hospital in York, Maine.

Ask the Expert A brain injury can be the catalyst for a host of changes in an individual’s social behavior. The area of the brain that is injured plays a major role in how these changes manifest, but there are several common behaviors in brain injury survivors. Angela Harsy, Behavioral Analyst at NeuroRestorative Carbondale recently spoke to NeuroNews about these changes. Q: What are some of the most common types of social behavior changes you see? A: The most common kinds of social behavior changes we see in participants are the inability to start or end conversations, impulsivity, and inappropriate or offensive comments and conversations.

Q: What drew you to NeuroRestorative? A: I find personal satisfaction working with health care providers. I know each and every day at NeuroRestorative I am helping individuals in need receive life-enhancing services. The individuals we serve provide me with constant inspiration; knowing that each rate negotiation or new contract will directly benefit someone on their road to recovery adds extra motivation. Q: Have you had the chance to spend any time with our participants? Have you had any particularly memorable experiences? A: I have! I had only been here for about a week and I had the opportunity to visit some of the NeuroRestorative Massachusetts’ programs in Raynham and Easton. I also had the chance to get out to Carbondale, Illinois and visit NeuroRestorative Carbondale’s expansive programs there, including the new Therapeutic Rehabilitation Activities Center (TRAC) facility. I met one participant who struck a particular cord with me in Carbondale. As soon as I walked into the house he walked right up and introduced himself. He was very friendly and struck up a conversation immediately. He was upbeat and full of life. It was inspiring to meet someone so positive and outgoing in the face of everything he had been through. It made me even more appreciative to work in the environment we do.

Angela Harsy, Behavioral Analyst NeuroRestorative Carbondale Q: How does this affect the recovery process? A: Many participants have trouble seeing how others will perceive them and their actions in the community. It is also a big factor in many participants’ difficulty in getting back to work and participating in community activities. NeuroRestorative’s community-based rehabilitation process is so important because we utilize community outings as therapeutic activities for participants to demonstrate and practice social interactions. Q: What approach do you take to change inappropriate behaviors? A: We first identify the source of the behavior. From there we can focus on skills acquisition, or we can adjust our response to the behavior if it is motivated by attention or consequences. We also provide structured feedback in the community by identifying and praising positive behaviors, and pointing out negative ones. We also practice skills with one-on-one role play. 99


New Programs Offer More Options and Access to Care Closer to Home At NeuroRestorative, we understand how important it is for participants to have the support of their loved ones during the rehabilitation process. That’s why we continue to expand our programs to ensure that more people have access to the specialized postacute rehabilitation they need close to home.
