CAU EARNS THREE-YEAR CARF ACCREDITATION

CARF, an independent, not-for-profit accrediting body, awarded Community Access a three-year accreditation, the highest accreditation possible.

Three-year CARF accreditation is bestowed upon organizations that demonstrate that their persons served benefit from the services provided. An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has undergone a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during on-site visits that it has conformed and is committed to CARF’s accreditation conditions and standards. There are over 1200 standards an organization is measured against. Furthermore, Community Access was commended in its quest for quality programs and services.

CARF’s mission is to promote the quality, value and optimal outcomes of services centered on enhancing the lives of person served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
