The Philadelphia Protestant Home awarded CARF–CCAC accreditation

(Philadelphia, PA) — (July 9, 2008) — CARF–CCAC announced that The Philadelphia Protestant Home (PPh) has been awarded a five-year term of accreditation. This is the first CARF–CCAC accreditation that has been awarded to PPh.

An organization receiving a five-year term of accreditation has voluntarily put itself through a rigorous peer review process and demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site survey that it is committed to conforming to CARF–CCAC’s accreditation conditions and standards. Furthermore, an organization that earns CARF–CCAC accreditation is commended on its quest for quality programs and services.

The Philadelphia Protestant Home is a not-for-profit organization with offices at 6500 Tabor Road Philadelphia, PA 19111. It has been providing services to seniors in the Delaware Valley area since 1890.

The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) was founded in 1985 as the nation’s only accrediting body for continuing care retirement communities and similar organizations. In January 2003, CCAC merged with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), a nonprofit accreditor founded in 1966 that touches close to 6 million individuals served in a wide range of human service organizations.
