input and reducing paper cost.

security protection, upgrades on all agency phones, and purchased new scanners, printers, and copy machines.

2014 Consumer Satisfaction Scores
All PCCS consumers were provided an opportunity to rate the programs and services they are provided through PCCS. They had the
opportunity to score and comment on each question asked.
Community Living had 70 surveys returned out of a possible 240, for a return rate of 29%.
The Day Services Programs, including Greencastle HAB, Workshop, and Supported Employment had 76 out of a possible 188 surveys
returned, for a return rate of 40%.
The Group Homes had 12 surveys returned out of a possible 12, for a return rate of 100%.
Consumers were asked to respond to a variety of questions regarding their satisfaction with staff, supervisors, programs/services, and
their health and safety. All scores listed below are based on a 1 to 5 rating system or each questions asked, with 5 being the highest possible satisfaction and 1 being extremely dissatisfied. The following scores are the combined average of all questions asked:
Day Services
3.78
Group Homes
4.01
Community Living 4.59
While all scores are above average and we should be proud to have such satisfaction, there is always room for improvement. Each Department will be developing recommendations for improvement based on the feedback given on the surveys.
Thank you to all staff for ensuring our consumers are well cared for, given opportunities for growth and new experiences, and that they
are treated with respect and dignity. Keep up the good work.
