Coming Soon
A survey team from CARF International* will be visiting the Halifax, N.S. location from April 8 – 10, 2024.
We invited the surveyors to evaluate how well we meet international standards for quality. The survey will tell us what we are doing well and ways we might improve. As a result of this survey, we may earn or continue accreditation.
CARF Accreditation
To uphold our commitment to continuous improvement, we will periodically engage CARF International surveyors to assess how well we meet international quality standards. CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) is an international, non-profit organization that reviews rehabilitation service providers to ensure adherence to defined international standards of quality in health and human services. The survey will tell us what we are doing well and ways we might improve. As a result of this survey, we may earn or continue accreditation
As part of the survey, the surveyors will interview people who receive services, their families, our staff, and others. Some questions the survey team members might ask people are:
- Do we provide a clean and safe setting?
- Do you receive the services you need and want?
- Are you treated with respect?
- Do you take part in planning your services?
- Are you told what you need to know about your services?
- Are your questions answered in a way you understand?
- Do you know where to go with questions or concerns?
If you would like to talk with one of the survey team members or want to learn more about CARF International, please let one of our staff members know. You may also contact CARF International directly.
