We are excited to announce that the dates for BACI’s 9th CARF Accreditation Survey have been set for June 8 – 10, 2026.
As you may know, CARF (The Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission) has developed “best practice” standards by gathering feedback and expertise from families, people with disabilities, and the employees throughout North America who are connected with the Community Social Services sector.
During their 3 days at BACI, a team of Surveyors will meet with many people to evaluate how well we meet international standards of good quality of service. They will talk with our employees, people and families served, their networks, our Board of Directors, and our partners in the broader community. (They will also review our policies, procedures and other key documents.)
People served may be asked questions like:
– Are you getting the support and services you need and want?
– Do you feel respected and listened to?
– Are you involved in personal planning and decision-making?
– Do you get clear, helpful information about your services?
– Are your questions answered in a way that makes sense to you?
– Do you know who to contact if you have questions or concerns?
– Do you feel safe and secure in your home?
– Do you feel your rights and choices are honoured?
– Does BACI provide meaningful and quality services?
– Do you feel safe and well supported?
