Chesterown, MD -- Heron Point staff recently sat down with WCTR's Ken Collins to discuss the details of their reaccreditation by CARF-CCAC for meeting the highest standards in retirement living services. CARF accreditation is widely regarded as a mark of quality for retirement communities. An accredited community must meet or exceed standards of excellence in important areas such as financial viability, governance, quality of life, and health care. Accreditation is a rigorous voluntary process involving extensive self-evaluation by the retirement community’s staff, residents, board of directors, and an on-site review by trained CARF surveyors.
