JGW Living

JGW Living has been awarded a full three-year accreditation every through CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) since our first survey in 2003. Three years is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows substantial conformance to the standards established by CARF. An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its program and services are the highest quality, measurable and accountable.

Any organization that has been accredited will note that it requires a great deal of work, during the surveys and in maintaining the conformance on an ongoing basis between those surveys. It is work we engage in with enthusiasm because we can see it makes a demonstrable difference in the quality of the services provided to the individuals in our care and our teams.
