The Palace Awarded Three-Year CARF Accreditation
The Palace's Kendall assisted living communities awarded international accreditation
MIAMI, FL, September 23, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Palace Group, one of South Florida's leading companies specializing in luxury senior living and care, has been awarded a Three-Year Accreditation by CARF International for its two Kendall assisted living communities: The Palace Renaissance and The Palace Royale.
Similar to the "Five Star" rating in the hospitality industry, this certification is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to a rental senior living community and shows The Palace's substantial conformance to the high standards established by CARF.
CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
"The accreditation confirms The Palace's dedication to providing exceptional care and services to residents and their families," said Palace President Helen Shaham. "Becoming one of three rental assisted living providers in Florida to achieve this honor is a tremendous achievement."
To receive the Three-Year Accreditation outcome, The Palace completed a rigorous peer review and demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site inspection that The Palace's programs and services are of the highest quality, measurability and accountability.
Located within The Palace's continuum of care campus, The Palace Renaissance offers traditional assisted living services while The Palace Royale offers "catered living." Additionally, the campus includes The Palace Suites, a luxurious independent living community, and The Palace Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, a Medicare 5-star community, which recently received the Governor's Gold Seal Award and is the #1 rated skilled nursing facility in Florida, according to U.S. News & World Report magazine.
The Palace also operates The Palace Gardens, an assisted living community in Homestead, Homestead Manor Nursing Home, The Palace at Home, a Medicare-certified home health agency recognized for five consecutive years as one of the Top 100 Home
Health Agencies in the United States by HomeCare Elite and The Palace Tel-Aviv, a continuing care retirement community in Israel.
The company recently opened the Information Center for its newest project, The Palace at Coral Gables, which will offer luxurious senior living residences in the heart of "The City Beautiful."
