What is CARF?CARF, the Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, is a private, not-for-profit organization that promotes quality rehabilitation services. CARF establishes standards of quality for organizations to use as guidelines in developing and offering their programs or services to consumers. CARF utilizes the standards to determine how well an organization is serving its consumers and how it can improve.
CARF-accredited programs and services have demonstrated that they substantially meet internationally recognized standards. For the consumer, CARF accreditation means that you can be confident that an organization has made a commitment to continually enhance the quality of its services and programs.
After an organization applies for accreditation of its services, CARF sends professionals in the field to conduct an on-site survey to determine the degree to which the organization meets the standards. CARF surveyors review policy and procedures, consult with staff members, and offer suggestions for improving the quality of services.
Choosing CARF-accredited programs and services gives you the assurance that:
- The programs or services actively involve consumers in selecting, planning and using services
- The organization's programs and services have met consumer-focused, state-of-the-art international standards of performances
- These standards were developed with the involvement and input of consumers
- The organization is focused on assisting each consumer in achieving his or her chosen goals and outcomess
