CARF International announced that United Cerebral Palsy of MetroBoston has been accredited for a period of three years for its Supported Living, Community Housing and Community Integration programs. The latest accreditation is the fifth consecutive Three Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body has awarded to UCP of MetroBoston. This is UCP of MetroBostons second consecutive accreditation with zero recommendations, an outcome achieved by less than 3% of all organizations surveyed in the United States, Europe and Canada.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organizations substantial conformance to the CARF standards. 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 programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable, and accountable.

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, the accrediting body establishes consumer focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
