What Is CARF Accreditation?
CARF is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1966 to promote quality rehabilitation services. Its accreditation is like a "seal of quality" on an organization. CARF has examined how Spectrum Health Rehab and Nursing Centers and Spectrum Health Neuro Rehabilitation Services operate, including interviewing our staff members, reviewing our policies and practices, and touring our facilities. Only organizations that meet CARF's standards of quality and service earn accreditation.
