CARF Accreditation
Kaleida Health has been awarded a CARF three-year accreditation for its inpatient rehabilitation program at Buffalo General Medical Center, the highest distinction of excellence available in the field of rehabilitation. In fact, they are among the region and nation’s top performers for patient improvement in functional independence following a stroke (i.e. walking, getting into and out of bed, bathing, dressing, toileting, speech and swallowing).
Accreditation comes after a rigorous review peer process where Buffalo General demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable and accountable.
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 know as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focuses standards to help organization measure and improve the quality of their programs.

Other rehabilitation programs may operate closer to home; however, few can compare to the quality, expertise and compassion found on the rehabilitation units at Buffalo General Medical Center.
Convenience is no substitute for excellence when functional independence is at stake.
