A federal judge ordered the closure of Embreeville State Hospital in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The state institution housed people with disabilities from 1938-1997. In 1996, VFE was awarded a contract to establish the Consumer and Family Satisfaction Teams to initially meet people at Embreeville and participate in their Person Centered Planning process. Once the person moved to the community CFST assessed the person’s satisfaction with supports and services to assure their lives were going well and plans were successfully implemented. While Embreeville closed almost twenty years ago, the Consumer Family Satisfaction Teams work is ever-present, assuring a good quality of life for those who left the state center.
