CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The accreditation includes Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Nursing Care and Post Acute Care
Chicago, Ill., December 10, 2024 – Franciscan Ministries announced today that its St. Joseph Village Senior Living Community has received The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval^® for accreditation and certification for Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Nursing Care and Post Acute Care. St. Joseph Village underwent a thorough evaluation by The Joint Commission to ensure compliance of The Joint Commission’s rigorous performance standards in delivering quality, safe care. By meeting these standards, St. Joseph Village has earned this internationally recognized symbol of quality.

To achieve Joint Commission accreditation and certification, St. Joseph Village had to demonstrate its compliance with challenging standards in many areas, including emergency management, infection prevention and control, medication management and associate competency. Our team of associates involvement in the process was vital to the success of the on-site visit. It was essential to have a knowledgeable team able to interact with The Joint Commission who could provide accurate information about our Ministry’s practices and policies.

The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care, accrediting and certifying more than 22,000 health care programs worldwide. Its mission is to continuously improve health care by setting the highest standards for health care quality throughout the world. In setting these standards, The Joint Commission consults doctors, nurses, and quality and safety experts to review the current standards and make recommendations for improvements.

“St. Joseph Village’s commitment to the highest standards of care is reflected in our Joint Commission accreditation and certification and it’s our associate’s dedication to providing high-quality care and our ongoing compliance with Joint Commission standards that have helped us achieve this prestigious recognition,” stated LaDon Harris, Executive Director, St. Joseph Village.
