The latest accreditation is the fifth consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body has awarded to BAMSI.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable, and accountable.

BAMSI is a nonprofit organization with offices at 10 Christy’s Drive in Brockton. It has been providing Community Housing, Supported Living, Community Integration, Outpatient, Treatment, Day Treatment, and Employment Services programs in Massachusetts since 1975.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
