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 and continuous improvement efforts that center on enhancing the lives of the persons served.
“This CARF decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization,” said Joel Szirtes, Chief Operating Officer of HealthCall of Detroit, “and demonstrates our organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards.”
Organizations that receive a three-year accreditation from CARF have undergone a rigorous peer review process and demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an onsite visit, their commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
“We’ve always believed in person-centered, quality in-home care services,” adds Szirtes. “Our team of experienced professionals is committed to helping people accomplish their recovery goals and achieve the highest quality of life. This accreditation affirms that and is an acknowledgement of the skill, hard work and professionalism of every one of our employees and their dedication to the people we serve.”
