CARF International announced that Fidelity House CRC (FHCRC) has earned a three-year accreditation. CARF Accreditation for its Adult Foster Care and Day Services programs.

The CARF accreditation is the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization.  Fidelity House CRC put itself through a rigorous peer review process.  During an on-site visit to Fidelity House’s headquarters in Lawrence and day services facility in Haverhill, a team of surveyors spent two days researching and reviewing FHCRC’s practices, programs and procedures, talking with staff, board and interacting with the community about services provided.

CARF provides accreditation services around the world, certifying health service providers to offer rehabilitation to people who have disabilities, have addiction and substance abuse problems, need home and community services, live in retirement communities or require other human services at the highest level.

FHCRC’s Chief Executive Officer, Brad Howell, was impressed with the thoroughness of the accreditation process and explained,  “This accreditation provides the people we serve with the assurance that we meet high standards for our human services agency. We are proud to achieve this level of accreditation and will continue to strive to meet and exceed the standards set by CARF as we provide integrated and compassionate care for individuals with disabilities.”
