DAYMARK RECOVERY SERVICES, INC.
2014 CONSUMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
Daymark Recovery Services, Inc. (DAYMARK) strives to provide quality care that is consistent
with best practices, conforms to federal, state, and local standards, and meets the needs of people
served. DAYMARK values the feedback of consumers and administers an annual survey at
DAYMARK service sites that is scored and analyzed by a private consultant. This year the
survey was completed in May 2014; a sample of enrolled consumers was obtained from 30
locations. A total of 1,223 consumers voluntarily participated in the survey but not all
consumers answered every question.
The results presented in the following tables denote only percentages of responses that agreed
with the question (agreement includes the combination of both the strongly agree and agree response options). Note that some rows or columns may not add up precisely to 100% or may
portray uncharacteristic variances due to computer rounding.

CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY CONSUMERS (52)
Of the 52 concerns expressed by consumers they fell into the following categories:
Physicians Issues - Long waits to see the physician during an emergency, the physician seemed rushed, appointments spread out too long, cant get a child appointment except during school hours, and physician refused to give me the meds I
requested.
Issues with Employees Therapist not aware of my treatment goals, some employees need a better understanding of ethnic differences, could not get in touch with my in-
home therapist, front desk employees were impolite, and the therapist didnt have my records from New River.
Medications Concerns - My medications don't work like they used to, no one told me
about the medication side effects and I had stomach pains, nausea and vomiting, and too
many problems with medication.
Availability of Services - Cant get an afterschool doctor appointment, long waits for both the doctor and the nurses, tired of waiting for a doctor appointment, bad weather
cancellations means I have to wait months for an appointment, not enough doctors or
therapists, I want more time in the therapists office, and too many groups.
Access By Phone I cant get through to my therapist, hard to reschedule appointments by phone, cant get through to the nurse, have to call several times to get someone to answer the phone, return calls quickly, and it is difficult to get concerns about refills
answered.
SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING SERVICES (131)
Of the 131 suggestions for improvement, they generally fell into these categories:
.
Physical Plant/Operation Concerns The waiting room is too small, food services need to be improved (residential facility), building location difficult to reach on public
transportation, play area for children, should have VR in the same building, facility is
run down and dirty, and not enough space for so many groups.
Staffing Suggestions - Daymark needs to hire more doctors, need greater access to a
psychologist, would like to see a female therapist, should not cancel appointments, dont always get to see the same physician, and give the doctors more time so they dont always seem to be in a hurry.
Availability Of Services Daymark needs more individual therapy, offer more groups, Stay on schedule so I dont have to wait, late evening appointments, explain how I can access 24 hour services, arrange child appointments so that they dont conflict with school, offer more IOP, offer free DUI classes, and help me with transportation.

SUMMARY
Consumers continue to be satisfied with the quality of service delivery and would recommend
DAYMARK to others. The year to year high level of satisfaction has remained that way despite
the fact that DAYMARK expanded its program reporting sites from 18 in 2011 to 30 in 2014 (a
67% increase).
Both consumer concerns and suggestions for improvement focused primarily on physician
services, for example 42 of the 52 concerns listed were about physician services. Our customers
want greater access to our physicians, particularly more frequent visits. They want more flexible
scheduling for both physicians and therapists, and more individual counseling. They want more
in the way of medication education and better facilities.
Both anecdotal comments made by consumers and the survey findings will be vetted through the
DAYMARK quality improvement process with the QI Committee being responsible to make
specific recommendations to senior management for improvements. The action list provided by
the QI Committee will be presented to senior management for implementation.
