At Venerate Behavioral Services, we aspire to be the very best in everything that we do. This is why we obtained accreditations for both our Home Health and Behavioral Health Services. Accreditation is regarded as one of the key benchmarks for measuring the quality of an organization’s services. Accreditation standards provide the catalyst for organizational management strategy. The on-site survey validates the application of those strategies and determines if the company is actually performing according to the goals and objectives it has adopted in its system.
Venerate Behavioral Services is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF accreditation signals a service provider’s commitment to continually improving services, encouraging feedback, and serving the community. The value of CARF accreditation is more than a certificate hanging on the wall. CARF accreditation is evidence that your organization strives to improve efficiency, fiscal health, and service delivery — creating a foundation for consumer satisfaction.
CARF is an independent, nonprofit organization focused on advancing the quality of services you use to meet your needs for the best possible outcomes.
CARF provides accreditation services worldwide at the request of health and human service providers. Whether you are seeking rehabilitation for a disability, treatment for addiction and substance abuse, home and community services, retirement living, or other health and human services, you can have confidence in your choice. Providers that meet our standards have demonstrated their commitment to being among the best available.

About CHAP
The Community Health Accreditation Program, Inc. (CHAP) is an independent, non-profit accrediting body. It was the first accrediting body for community-based health care organizations in the United States and was created in 1965 as a joint venture between the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the National League for Nursing (NLN). These organizations brought to fruition the futuristic view that accreditation was the needed mechanism for recognizing excellence in community health practice. In 1988, CHAP became a separately incorporated, non-profit subsidiary of the NLN under the CHAP name. In 2001, it was spun-off by the NLN and became an independent, non-profit corporation. CHAP was granted “deeming authority” by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 1992 for home health and in 1999, for hospice. This means that instead of state surveys, CHAP has regulatory authorization to survey agencies providing home health and hospice services, to determine whether they meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation (COPs). In 2006, CMS granted CHAP full deeming authority for Home Medical Equipment (HME).
