Accreditations, Certifications and Awards
Accreditations
On July 23, 2010 Jewish Senior Life was awarded accreditation by CARF–CCAC, the nation’s only accrediting body for continuing care retirement communities and similar human services organizations. Jewish Senior Life met all of the requirements for CARF–CCAC accreditation upon its first submission.
Jewish Senior Life earned a five-year term of CARF–CCAC accreditation as a Continuing Care Retirement Community and for Adult Day Health Care, Assisted Living, Person-Centered Long-Term Care, and Person-Centered Dementia Care programs. A three-year term of CARF accreditation was awarded for the Weinberg Manson Transitional Care program, and Outpatient Rehabilitation program. Both of these term lengths are the maximum allowable by CARF–CCAC.
CARF–CCAC accreditation demonstrates an organization’s quality, transparency and commitment to the satisfaction of the persons served. An organization receiving accreditation has voluntarily put itself through a rigorous peer review process and demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site survey that it is committed to conforming to CARF–CCAC’s accreditation conditions and standards. Furthermore, an organization that earns CARF–CCAC accreditation is commended on its quest for quality programs and services.
