Why Accreditation Sets Classic LifeCare Apart: A Guide to Choosing the Best Homecare Provider

When choosing a home care provider, not all agencies are created equal. Not only does Classic LifeCare stand out as a home care provider because of its 50 years of experience, but its commitment to accreditation. Classic’s accreditation status through Accreditation Canada provides peace of mind for those trusting us to care for them or their loved ones. This sounds terrific, of course, and surely does set Classic LifeCare above many other homecare agencies in Vancouver, Calgary, Comox and Prince George, but what does it mean?

What is Accreditation Canada?

Accreditation Canada is a national organization dedicated to improving quality in health and social services in Canada. The organization assesses organizations through a very strict program. In this process, it assesses the providers’ performance in relation to preset standards on quality. Quality is a concept meant to ensure good, safe, and effective care is given to clients.

An organization with the intention of receiving accreditation status through Accreditation Canada goes through a thorough assessment process. This includes self-assessment, on-site surveys conducted by external peer reviewers, and continuous improvement plans for the future. The goal is to ensure accredited organizations are not only meeting current standards but are also committed to ongoing improvement.

Why Accreditation Matters in Homecare

In the homecare industry, where clients are often vulnerable and in need of consistent, high-quality care, accreditation is particularly important. It provides external validation the agency is meeting, or exceeding, some of the highest quality and standards of care. This can be a very important consideration for families when they are choosing a provider.

How Classic LifeCare’s Accreditation Makes a Difference

Classic LifeCare is unique from other homecare agencies in significant ways. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Quality and Safety Accreditation

The standards of Accreditation Canada focus on quality and safety for best practice that Classic LifeCare adheres to in all its operations. This ranges from training and supervision of caregivers, managing client care plans, and sensitive information of clients. The clients will be assured that their care is being managed by qualified professionals with a real commitment to quality care.

• Continuous Improvement

Accreditation is not an event but an ever-changing, ongoing process of commitment to improvement. Classic LifeCare is measured against standards and expected to show continual improvement over time. This model of constant improvement ensures clients are provided with care that not only maintains but advances to meet their needs and standards in homecare.

• Transparency and Accountability

Accredited organizations like Classic LifeCare are held accountable to the public and their clients. They are expected to operate transparently and prove their allegiance to ethics. This is a level of accountability that makes a difference, instilling higher levels of trust in the care provided.

• Client-Centered Care

At the core of Accreditation Canada standards, there is a client-centered approach. Classic LifeCare provides a client-centered commitment in every aspect of service delivery. This includes customized care plans, respects the preferences and needs of clients, and involves the family in the care. The result of this kind of approach is better, more responsive and effective care.

• Industry Leadership

Achieving and maintaining accreditation is one of the ways Classic LifeCare is a leader in the homecare industry. The move is an indication that Classic LifeCare is not only complying with the standards in the industry but also contributing to its growth.
