Accreditation

CARF

Independent Living Services has been accredited by CARF for a period of three years for the following services:

• Community Services: Community Housing
• Community Services: Community Integration
• Community Services: Supported Living
• Employment Services: Organizational Employment Services

This accreditation will extend through May 2011.

CARF accreditation helps Independent Living Services meet the challenges it faces in achieving quality outcomes for the people we serve. Specific benefits that CARF accreditation affords Independent Living Services include:

• Assurance to persons seeking services that a provider meets internationally accepted standards.
• Improved communication with persons served.
• Person-focused standards that emphasize an integrated and individualized approach to services and outcomes.
• Accountability to funding sources, referral agencies, and the community.
• Management techniques that are efficient, cost-effective, and based on outcomes and consumer satisfaction.
• Evidence to assure federal, state, provincial, and local governments of the quality of programs and services that receive government funding.
• Guidance for responsible management and professional growth of personnel.
• A tool for marketing programs and services to consumers, referral sources, and third-party funders.
• Support from CARF through consultation, publications, conferences, training opportunities, and newsletters.

Third-party payers, governmental agencies and the public at-large recognize CARF accreditation as a demonstration of accountability and conformance to internationally accepted standards that promote excellence in your services.

The value of CARF accreditation is more than a certificate hanging on the wall. CARF accreditation is evidence that your organization strives to improve efficiency, fiscal health, and service delivery — creating a foundation for consumer satisfaction.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
