BELMONT — Regina Moody, president/CEO, recently announced that Holy Angels has earned a three-year accreditation by CARF International. This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. This is Holy Angels’ fourth CARF survey and the fourth three-year accreditation for its programs and services.
The two-member survey team spent three days observing at the community group homes, Cherubs Café, Cotton Candy Factory, Spruced Goose Station, the Morrow Center, LifeChoices and the five ICF (Intermediate Care Facilities) group homes and reviewed records, and policy and procedure manuals.
Moody noted, “It is truly affirming when professionals in the field of developmental disabilities, each having more than 30 years knowledge, sees and experiences the spirit of compassionate care of our staff for our residents and their families.”
An organization receiving this accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable and accountable.
CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body that promotes the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served.
