CFI Ranks Among the Best for Rehabilitative Services
For the 24th consecutive year, Centers for Independence (CFI) has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
This 3-year accreditation represents CFI’s adherence to the highest quality and care standards in providing rehabilitative programs and services.
Additionally, CARF’s surveyors offered no recommendations for improvement, which is achieved by only 3 percent of CARF surveys–ranking CFI among the best in its class.
Satisfaction with Services
CFI clients give us high marks! The results of our second persons served 2022 satisfaction survey are in. Overall, ALL scores for ALL questions scored a positive response of 90% or greater. Three programs scored a 100% positive response for one or more survey questions! Our goal is 85%, so this is an outstanding result.
