1 Pennsylvania Olmstead Plan York & Adams Counties Wernersville Service Area July 2012 I. Introduction Following the release of the Department of Public Welfare s Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Olmstead Plan for Pennsylvania s State Mental Health System in January 2011, the Wernersville Service Area Plan Steering Committee began to formulate a cooperative strategy to move forward with implementing an incremental process of addressing the needs outlined in developing a Service Area Integration Plan. Utilizing the Support Plans for all individuals residing and receiving treatment at Wernersville State Hospital, the Steering Committee began to develop a database inclusive of all individual components of CSP s. This database will serve as the primary resource for all the collective and individual needs for persons receiving this level of support. Every individual s CSP data is to be entered into the database upon completion and/or update of their plans. This database can encompass information selected for each county, or the entire Service Area. From the database, each County MH-MR Program can cull information that will identify what services, supports, and infrastructure will be needed for those individuals. This information can then be cross-referenced with the existing services and supports currently available in each County as outlined in those counties environmental scan. By cross-referencing both sets of information, each county will know exactly what areas of support are sufficient in meeting the needs of these individuals, and what areas of support need to be further enhanced, newly developed or accordingly altered. The outcome of maximizing resources can be addressed through this process by ensuring that if the demand is not sufficient to develop a service in a particular county, a plan can be set forth to develop a regional or Service Area support or service. This cooperative planning approach could be best suited in meeting the specialized needs of individuals who have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and an intellectual disability, individuals who have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, individuals who have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and physical disability, individuals who have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and acquired brain injury, consumers returning from incarceration, individuals that are deaf, individuals who are homeless, individuals who are elderly, individuals who are medically fragile, and individuals who do not speak English. 1

Individuals that reside in PCH s, where the bed capacity exceeds 16, are provided with information regarding the availability of integrated housing options twice annually, in conjunction with Case Management Service Plan updates. Transportation does remain a barrier to the timely and effective access to behavioral health services in the community for some individuals residing in PCH s in areas that are more rural. VIII. 5 Comprehensive Funding Strategy to support the development of services: Prior to the conclusion of Fiscal Year , York/Adams MH-MR Program, York/Adams HealthChoices Management Unit, Adams-Hanover Counseling Services and Care Behavioral Health began the process of enrolling Adams-Hanover Counseling Services CORE Outpatient Psychiatric and Psychiatric Nursing Services as a Medical Assistance eligible

6 service. In conjunction with this process, the provider was afforded the opportunity to expand the service availability they provide by expanding their therapist full-time equivalency by one additional clinician. This service was formally fully program funded through Mental Health CHIPP funding. The cost savings realized by York/Adams MH-MR through this transition will now be applied to the annualized funding required to operate a second 8-bed Specialized Residence (enhanced PCBH). This second Specialized Residence in York/Adams County was developed through the and HealthChoices Reinvestment Plan. During the Fiscal Year Budget Planning Process, York/Adams MH-MR CHIPP had initially planned for service provision based upon the proposed 20% budget cut. Under the proposed 20% budget cut, a number of individuals who were receiving CHIPP supports in apartment programs were transitioned to other residences; many through the current HealthChoices Housing Reinvestment Program. When the final FY State Budget was signed into law including a 10% cut, funding restoration was realized. Through the restoration of these previously anticipated lost funds, the county has partnered with one of our primary CHIPP providers, Bell Socialization Servcies, in developing an additional Assisted. This home is slated to open in Fall 2012, and will support 3 individuals who require enhanced supports. 6
