SIRS Achieves CARF Accreditation
Southern Indiana Resource Solutions, Inc. (SIRS) was surveyed by CARF on June 26, 27, 28, 2008 as part of their accreditation process. SIRS invited CARF to send a team of professionals to visit its sites and evaluate services for quality.
The surveyors reviewed records and policies, consulted with staff members, and interviewed recipients of SIRS services as well as other people who may be involved in SIRS processes such as community members or employers. SIRS has received the highest CARF accreditation possible beginning in 1996 and has continued to receive a 3-year accreditation to date.
SIRS is pleased to announce they have once again achieved the highest rating. Upon receiving the notification Kelly Mitchell sent out the following email to all SIRS employees, “I want to congratulate and commend ALL of our employees for their outstanding efforts in delivering services to individuals with disabilities and commitment to our vision of equal opportunities for all! This is truly exciting news.”
