CARF International announced that Habilitation Assistance Corporation has been accredited for a period of three years for its Community Integration services in Braintree, Plymouth, Pocasset and South Yarmouth. The latest accreditation is the tenth consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body, CARF, has awarded to Habilitation Assistance Corporation.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.

Habilitation Assistance Corporation is a for-profit organization with its main offices at 434 Court Street in Plymouth and access centers in Braintree, Plymouth, Pocasset and South Yarmouth. It has been providing community integration services as well as transportation, homemaker, supported living and home care services in the South Shore and Cape Cod areas of Massachusetts since 1983.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF International, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services. For more information about the accreditation process, please visit the CARF website at www.carf.org.
