CARF Accreditation
In 2002, Acquired Brain Injury Ireland became the first service provider in the Republic of Ireland to be CARF-accredited. CARF accreditation is a prestigious and internationally recognised quality mark which signals that the services we provide meet or exceed international best practice.
CARF is the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Services. It is an independent, not-for-profit organisation which assesses the facilities and services provided by a wide range of organizations providing rehabilitation.
CARF accredits organisations for three-year blocks. In 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018 and again in 2021, Acquired Brain Injury Ireland achieved the highest level of CARF accreditation in acquired brain injury residential rehabilitation services, long-term residential services and home and community rehabilitation services. According to CARF: “This achievement is an indication of your organisation’s dedication and commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the persons-served”.
