LADD is proud to announce that we have once again achieved CARF Accreditation with zero recommendations during our most recent accreditation survey. This marks our second consecutive survey with no recommendations for improvement—an accomplishment achieved by only about 1% of organizations that undergo the CARF accreditation process.
This prestigious recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, person-centered services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It also demonstrates the dedication, professionalism, and compassion of every member of the LADD team.
CARF accreditation is an internationally recognized standard of excellence that evaluates the quality, effectiveness, and outcomes of services provided by organizations. Surveyors conduct a comprehensive review of leadership, governance, service delivery, safety, quality improvement, and organizational practices to ensure the highest standards are being met.
Receiving zero recommendations means that LADD not only meets CARF's rigorous standards but exceeds expectations in many areas. It is a powerful affirmation that the individuals and families we serve receive exceptional support from a team committed to helping people achieve their personal goals and live meaningful, independent lives.
This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of our employees across every department. Whether providing direct support, coordinating programs, maintaining operations, offering administrative services, or leading our organization, every team member plays a vital role in creating a culture of excellence.
We are deeply grateful to our employees, the individuals we support, their families, our community partners, and our Board of Directors for their trust and continued support.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and delivering services that empower people to reach their fullest potential. We look forward to building on this success and continuing our mission of enriching lives and strengthening our community.
