CARF Canada

CARF Canada accreditation provides a visible symbol that assures the public of a provider’s commitment to continually enhance the quality of services and programs with a focus on the satisfaction of the persons served.

Accreditation uses a consultative approach during the survey process to assist us in improving the quality and value of our organization’s offerings.

Service providers, such as SSCS, earning CARF accreditation status are recognized for their ongoing innovation and continued conformance to the standards.

CARF accreditation helps our organization meet the challenges it faces by achieving quality outcomes for the persons we serve.  Specific benefits that CARF accreditation affords SSCS include:

• Assurance to persons seeking services that a provider meets internationally accepted standards.
• Improved communication with persons served.
• Person-focused standards that emphasize an integrated and individualized approach to services and outcomes.
• Accountability to funding sources, referral agencies, and the community.
• Management techniques that are efficient, cost-effective, and based on outcomes and consumer satisfaction.
• Evidence to assure federal, state, provincial, and local governments of the quality of programs and services that receive government funding.
• Guidance for responsible management and professional growth of personnel.
• A tool for marketing programs and services to consumers, referral sources, and third-party funders.
• Support from CARF through consultation, publications, conferences, training opportunities, and newsletters.
