Rehabilitation
Kingsbrook Rehabilitation Institute is pleased to announce the accreditation
of the Stroke and Cancer Rehabilitation programs by CARF (the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities). This accreditation distinguishes Kingsbrook’s program as the only
one of its kind on the Northeast, the 4th in USA and the 6th site worldwide. This achievement is an indicator of
Kingsbrook’s commitment to improving the quality of the lives of
persons served. This accreditation recognizes the Institute’s success
in delivering excellent patient-centered care that exceeds national and
international standards in Stroke & Cancer Rehabilitation.
CARF International announced that Kingsbrook Rehabilitation Institute has
been accredited for a period of three years for its Cancer and Stroke
Rehabilitation programs. This accreditation decision represents the highest
level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows
the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards.
An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through
a rigorous peer review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors
during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services
that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
