Amicus achieves full CARF International Accreditation! In mid-August 2026, Amicus completed a rigorous 3-day onsite CARF accreditation survey of all of our programs and the Corporate Office. We recently received confirmation that all Amicus Programs and Services have once again received full CARF Accreditation for the 13th consecutive 3-year cycle for a total of 39 years!

Why accreditation matters to providers-
Accreditation is a review to determine if the programs and services offered by the provider meet defined international standards of quality in health and human services. CARF's consultative peer-review process promotes active, dynamic planning focused on impact and outcomes. Achieving accreditation demonstrates the provider's commitment to continuously improve services, manage risks, and distinguish service delivery. It also demonstrates the provider's committment to delivering the highest level of safe and effective services, ongoing performance improvement, and the satisfaction of the persons served.

This achievement is the result of a team effort throughout Amicus. CARF's standards are deeply engrained in our organization's day-to-day culture.

When looking for a service provider CARF Accreditation is a symbol of program quality and excellence! ✨
