Rigorous Methodology for the Best CCRCs

- Peer and Resident Evaluation: Recommendations from medical professionals, staff in management/administration, CCRC residents, and acquaintances of residents.
- Visitor Satisfaction: Data based on facility visitor feedback provided by Accushield.
- Accreditation Programs: Official recognition and adherence to high standards, such as those from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
