Canoga
Park, California – Throughout the month of
March 2004, the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities (“CARF”) performed in-depth reviews
of the services at Aegis’ coastal clinics (Santa
Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley, Santa Paula). Their review
process was based on rigorous guidelines for service
and quality as well as an examination of each clinic’s
performance in areas such as compliance with state and
federal regulations, customer service, professional
competence and accuracy of documents.
Michael Seifert, R.N., M.H.A., Director
of Operations reported, “The final results of
the review will be published in mid-2004, and it is
expected that participating clinics will be receiving
the maximum three-year term for the CARF accreditation.”
