COLLAGE assessments enable member organizations to collect accurate, complete, valid and reliable data on independent living residents that can be used for both individual service plan development and organizational improvement. COLLAGE members believe these tools are valuable in meeting CARF-CCAC standards for measuring and managing performance.

“My staff has been offering Community Based Services in our independent setting for years. I think they know as much as any staff could about meeting their needs. When they started using the COLLAGE assessment, it opened up a whole new way to organize their information for decision making. It gave them new tools to discuss issues with departments, family, and administration. I heard “wow” many times as they looked at new report possibilities to serve our residents through the continuum. I would urge you to take a look at what COLLAGE can do for those you serve. As my staff prepares for re-accreditation under CARF, we have a whole new resource to measure our impact with those we serve in independent living and in the community.”
