CARF Accreditation

What is CARF Accreditation?

CARF AccreditationThe Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to a rehabilitation program and is your assurance that we are committed to providing excellent, evidence-based care to our patients by strictly adhering to nationally- and internationally-recognized standards of quality and patient care.

To achieve accreditation, we must pass an in-depth review of our services and operations by surveyors from CARF® International, an independent, nonprofit organization that surveys and accredits more than 59,000 programs and services. 

CARF has accredited programs at three Johnson Rehabilitation Institute locations. To learn more about each of the three locations and read answers to frequently asked questions below.
