We are happy to let you know Classic LifeCare has passed its second Accreditation Canada survey. We are surveyed every four years in order to maintain our accredited status.
Two surveyors visited our Calgary and Vancouver branches in April and drilled into our organization, specifically analyzing some required organizational practices to ensure we are meeting their standards. They also chatted with some Classic LifeCare employees, clients and family members and community partners.
After a few hectic and nail-biting days, we are happy to report we passed and had a glowing review from our surveyors with some insightful tips for improvement.
Accreditation Canada is an independent, non-profit organization that accredits health care organizations that meet their standards in quality, safety and efficiency.
