Connecting Care with Action

Connecting Care Communities

What sets us apart: The Eden Alternative Philosophy

To work with and for Connecting Care is to live by the Eden Alternative Philosophy and the preservation of dignity, honour, respect, variety and freedom of choice. We firmly believe that whether making a living or making a life, we all belong here.

Modern seniors refuse to be tied down by rules and boxed in by mental, physical and social obstacles. They want to not just exist but to flourish. Not to grasp for support, but rather to extend a helping hand. Our seniors want to pass down their collective teachings, history and wisdom through open and honest communication, and in doing so, they want to feel heard and valued. They want a say in their future, and they desire freedom of choice for all the days to come.

And with each new day comes the thrill of hope; ripe with the promise and anticipation of endless opportunity for fun and adventure.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International Accreditation

Connecting Care is accredited for a period of three years for its programs. The latest accreditation is the second consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body, CARF, has given to Connecting Care.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given 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.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process and continuous improvement services that center on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF International, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services. For more information about the accreditation process, please visit the CARF website at www.carf.org.
