CARF International announced that Trinity Health has been accredited for a period of three years for its RehabCare Center programs. The latest accreditation continues a trend of receiving full accreditation each time since 1997 that the accrediting body, CARF International, has awarded to Trinity Health RehabCare Center.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has gone through 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.

With the accreditation, CARF noted multiple areas of strength for Trinity Health RehabCare. Some of those strengths included standing out for its exceptional facilities; the healthcare team creating a supportive environment where individual needs are meticulously addressed; Trinity RehabCare demonstrated a dedication to delivering exceptional outcomes and maintaining leadership, making the organization a benchmark for industry standards; the team works collaboratively to develop discharge plans that are fit to the needs of the patient, often in rural areas with minimal resources; and patients and family members felt confident in the care they received, and feel prepared for discharge and well informed with any decision making.

Even though most of these areas of strength take place during the duration of the inpatient rehab process with each patient, Trinity Health RehabCare was also complimented for their implementation of follow-up communication. Patients or family members are contacted at three-, 14- and 90-day intervals to make sure the transition is smooth and to identify any needs that have may have surfaced.
