What is CARF? The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
CARF is an international, independent, non-profit accreditor of human service providers and networks. CARF’s mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process and continuous improvement services that center on enhancing the lives of persons served.
What is accreditation? When a service is CARF-accredited, it means the organization has passed an in-depth review and meets rigorous CARF guidelines for service and quality. It’s a qualified endorsement that the organization conforms to internationally-recognized service standards and is focused on delivering the most favorable results for the persons they serve. Accreditation promotes active, dynamic planning that is focused on outcomes and impact to stakeholders.
