Accreditation

Since the inception of The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) in 2002, the Garth Homer Society has had six successful terms of accreditation from the commission (2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018). CARF is a private, non-profit organization that grew out of a need to promote quality programs for people with disabilities. Every three years, CARF surveyors visit us to see if we meet the standards for the employment and community services we provide.
