Care Homes Accreditation Programme
Care Home organisations serve the aged, ill, and disabled by providing services varying from skilled nursing care, personal care assistance, health aide, and homemaker services. These providers build their services around the needs and schedules of their residents. The care home standards are unique standards of NABH, as these are the first standards which are focusing on the safety aspects at the care home level. Care home accreditation reinforces community trust, improves operational consistency, and enhances the well-being of residents through structured protocols and quality monitoring. NABH remains committed to its mission of taking Quality, Safety and Wellness to the last man in the line.
