Accreditations

CARF provides a "Seal of Approval" on Quality Assurance. We undergo surveys (each usually a two day process) during which they review a set of standards based on outcomes. During this thorough and intensive survey, they review business operations (leadership, financial, development) to ensure appropriate checks and balances are in place. Surveyors gauge the satisfaction of clients by interviewing the individuals and their families. They ensure that Marklund provides a normalized life experience: that our clients participate in age appropriate activities in a lifestyle that is similar to those without developmental disabilities.

Accreditation is awarded for 1, 2, or 3 years. Marklund has achieved the highest level of accreditation by receiving the 3-year award every time we have been surveyed.
