CARF Accreditation
Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), CARF International is an independent, non-profit accreditor of health and human services. CARF accreditation demonstrates a provider’s commitment to continually improving services, encouraging feedback and serving the community.
In August 2020, HonorHealth Rehabilitation Hospital was awarded the following CARF accreditations, each for a period of three years:
- Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient Rehabilitation Program
- Amputation Specialty Program
- Brain Injury Specialty Program
- Stroke Specialty Program

Quality Outcomes
All hospitals collect and analyze data to allow for continuous performance improvement and program development. The Joint Commission and CARF require the collection and reporting of various data which allows for certification. We share this information with the patients, family members and referral sources to further educate them about our hospital. It allows them to make an appropriate choice in selecting a hospital for their rehabilitation needs.

*RIC – Rehabilitation impairment category
**FIM – Functional independence measure: A standard assessment tool, used by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, that measures both the overall and specific improvement in activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, feeding, walking and mobility from the time of admission to discharge. We are proud that our patients’ scores generally exceed national benchmarks.
