Westminster Canterbury has received CARF reaccreditation for their Continuing CareRetirement Community services.
This rigorous, five-year accreditation is effective from January 13, 2023, to December 31, 2027. This is Westminster Canterbury Lynchburg’s ninth consecutive five-year accreditation as recognition for their retirement community services and programs. The final report is expected in April.
“Our residents, Board of Trustees and team members all contributed to a successful review,” said Sean Huyett, CEO and President at Westminster Canterbury Lynchburg, “and we applaud their efforts to help us demonstrate the excellence of retirement services that we take great pride in delivering on a daily basis.”
An organization receiving a five-year term of accreditation has voluntarily put itself through a rigorous peer review process and demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site survey that it is committed to conforming to CARF–CCAC’s accreditation conditions and standards. Furthermore, an organization that earns CARF–CCAC accreditation is commended on its quest for quality programs and services.
With its renewed accreditation status, Westminster Canterbury Lynchburg looks forward to continuing to provide quality services and programs to the residents of the retirement community.

In January 2003, CCAC merged with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), a nonprofit accreditor founded in 1966 that touches close to 6 million individuals served in a wide range of human service organizations.
