Findings 7 findings

Having just been refurbished, the building is in excellent condition, although its unusual architectural design does not facilitate easy accessibility throughout the structure.

A new well-equipped community activity center has been established for adult clients.

There is a confidentiality issue in that some of the areas where service providers and patients discuss issues and treatment are not sufficiently soundproofed.

There is no interior access between floors one and two. Programs for adults are on the lower floor, and parents and children are seen on the upper floor. However, staff has to go outdoors to access one floor to the other; walking across the parking lot or using the uncovered exterior stairway.

Since there are separate entrances for both the adult programs on the lower floor, and the juvenile programs on the second floor, the facility has been certified as ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant.

The parking capacity at the facility (which was not adequate at the time of our visit) has now been increased to fit the building’s use needs.

Outdoor direction signs at the facility are nonexistent.

Recommendations 4

R1

Soundproof the areas in the building where service providers interact with clients.
R2

Install outdoor direction signs so clients can easily determine where to park and access the proper segment of the building.
R3

Cover the exterior stairway to ameliorate safety concerns in inclement weather.
R4

After this department has been in this new space for six months, investigate the need and feasibility of creating an interior stairway/elevator for interior access between floors one and two.
