Providers interested in seeking accreditation from CARF International will meet Thursday and Friday in Chicago. Participants will gain insight into the quality and accreditation processes, and information about avoiding pitfalls during its surveys.

AS 101: Preparing for Successful Accreditation in Aging Services including Continuing Care Retirement Communities kicks off at 9 a.m. May 23 at Virgin Hotels Chicago and runs until 4 p.m. the following day.

Participants will see practical examples of how to demonstrate conformance to the standards as well as effective business management and service delivery practices. All areas in the 2019 Aging Services and 2019 Continuing Care Retirement Community Standards Manual will be covered.

Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss and receive “hands-on” support from training faculty regarding the development and implementation of plans, policies, and procedures needed to demonstrate organizational conformance to the standards.

The session is highly recommended for any first-time organization preparing for the accreditation survey process, organizational contacts new to the CARF accreditation process, or those who need a quick update and refresher course.
