Manassas, VA – Didlake, Inc. has earned its fifth consecutive accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International. CARF awarded the three-year accreditation to Didlake after a rigorous review earlier this year. The review found Didlake’s services met or exceeded stringent CARF standards and resulted in the highest level of accreditation awarded by the commission to Didlake’s community and employment services.
“Didlake’s commitment to meeting CARF standards has been unwavering,” said Didlake CEO Rex Parr. “CARF sets optimal standards for the efficient and effective pursuit of our mission: ‘To create opportunities that enrich the lives of people with disabilities.’ It is a driving force behind the high quality of service our consumers enjoy.”
The CARF accreditation includes Didlake’s Community Inclusion Programs—licensed day-support services that maintained participant satisfaction rates of at least 95 percent for the past three years. CARF also accredited Didlake’s employment support services, which provide customized job training and consultation to employees to help them expand their skills and grow within their positions.
