For more than 50 years, CARF has set high standards for person-centered care and services. Throughout North America and internationally, CARF accredits more than 8,500 providers operating more than 63,000 programs. It’s an important indication demonstrating a commitment to providing the highest standards of quality, service, and care—and an important consideration in the decision-making process when choosing a senior living community.

Less than 10% of Continuing Care Retirement Communities are accredited. To earn this seal, communities must meet or exceed over 1,200 measurements of excellence, including vital issues such as Governance and Finance.
Terwilliger Plaza has been recognized with a CARF-CCAC accreditation since 1997 and is one of two of the only accredited CCRC's in the state of Oregon. Which means, Terwilliger Plaza does more than say we provide quality care—we actually prove it.
