Featured Program: Volunteers of America Oregon’s Adult Day Centers
Volunteers of America Oregon’s Adult Day Centers received high marks and an official accreditation from CARF. "We are extremely proud that our Adult Day Centers are the first in the state to receive CARF accreditation," said Kay Toran, Volunteers of America Oregon president and chief executive officer. "This award positions our services and programs as role models for the industry. When you look at the activities and operations of our programs, it's clear that our participants and families benefit from participation.”Receiving the CARF accreditation provides assurance to families and individuals that we have met national standards of performance. It also means that people with long-term health care insurance may now have an easier time applying this insurance to some or all of the cost of participation in a VOAOR Adult Day Services program. Without accreditation, most insurance companies are reluctant to cover costs for Adult Day Services, creating a financial hardship for families and individuals who need respite during the day.
