- The facility will then have two years to come into compliance with all
mandatory standards and not less than 90 percent of the non-mandatory
standards.
- Proof of compliance is determined by an assessment team sent by the
Commission, conducting an on-site review of the agency's own policies,
procedures and practices.
- It is recommended that all agencies perform a "mock" assessment prior
to the actual onsite. The selection of assessors for the mock team
is determined solely by the candidate facility and all costs including
meals, travel and per diem is borne by the facility.
- Once accredited, facilities remain accredited for a period of three
years. After the three year period they must be reaccredited.
