Accreditation

The Highest Standard of Care

As the first continuing care retirement community to be accredited in northwestern Pennsylvania, Springhill is proud to set the standard for exceptional retirement living. Awarded a five year term of accreditation by CARF-CCAC in 2008, we remain committed to our mission of raising expectations for what senior living can be.

An accreditation from the CARF – CCAC, or Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities - Continuing Care Accreditation Commission, means an independent survey team evaluated Springhill and found it in compliance with more than 600 measures of quality, including financial indicators that relate to a community’s long-term viability. Once a community has earned accreditation, it participates in a review of financial indicators each year and accommodates an on-site evaluation by a survey team every five years. In 2011, Asbury deepened its commitment to CARF-CCAC by developing a system-wide approach. Beginning in 2012, all five Asbury communities – including Springhill – will embark on the same five-year cycle of accreditation. Through this, Asbury communities will accelerate their learning, with each community challenging and supporting the others to improve processes and better serve those who call Asbury home.

Based in Washington, D.C., CARF-CCAC is a not-for-profit organization and part of a family of organizations overseen by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International, which that currently accredits nearly 47,000 programs and services at more than 20,000 locations on five continents.
