A few comments from the 2010 CARF report:

"The RCC has been identified by its referral sources as the best kept secret among behavioral health peers, the community, other funding sources, and persons served."

"RCC has demonstrated unique leadership to persons served in the treatment of eating disorders."

"The RCC has a respected staff that communicates well with referral agencies, the Sylvania school system, insurance companies, and regional health maintenance organizations" ... "Staff members are noted to provide individualized episodes of care for each person served and are not viewed among peers as just cookie-cutter care professionals."

"RCC residential services are housed in a safe, modern, well-furnished facility, and it is obvious that staff members demonstrate their compassion, professionalism, and dedication to service on a daily basis. These qualities foster a healthy environment of trust evident among persons served."

What Does CARF Accreditation Mean?

The CARF accreditation represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization. The Three-Year Accreditation outcome indicates that the River Centre Clinic 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, not-for-profit 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.
