Characteristics of Persons Served
Beechwood NeuroRehab served a total of 130 participants by the end of Fiscal Year 2021, a 1% decrease from the previous period. Approximately 73% are served in Beechwood NeuroRehab’s Community Residences, and 27% are non-residential clients who live in their own homes in the community; all participants receive a mix of NeuroRehab Therapies, Structured Day, and Vocational Programs. Beechwood NeuroRehab has 26% of its persons served in the 19-29 years of age bracket, compared to 19% for our peer post-acute benchmarking providers. The numbers in this age bracket are slowly starting to increase due to increases in public funding as this group has been identify by national prevalence as a higher risk age group. Beechwood NeuroRehab is similar to our peer post-acute benchmarking providers in the 30-44 years of age bracket (39%, compared with benchmark providers’ 36%) as well as the 45-60 age bracket (32%, compared with benchmark providers’ 36%). Adding in the older adults, 35% of people served by Beechwood are over 45, compared to the 45% over 45 for benchmarking providers. This is a recent change in trends for Beechwood as in the past over 45 was predominantly a higher percentage over benchmarking providers.
Beechwood NeuroRehab utilizes the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory, 4th Edition (MPAI-4) to evaluate program effectiveness, by comparing aggregated participant scores for Abilities, Adjustment, and Participation to aggregated data from other peer programs. For participants served in long term, residential programs, the MPAI-4 is best utilized to show stability, and/or a lack of decline. Comparing the Beechwood NeuroRehab Residential population to the Benchmark Residential providers for the same time period, the change scores are also not significant. Benchmark Residential showed slight improvement with Participation and both Beechwood and the Benchmark Residential providers showed slight improvement with Adjustment.
