Accreditation Canada: Qmentum ProgramAccreditation Canada is an independent, not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of health care systems in Canada and across the globe through the rigorous process of accreditation. The Qmentum Accreditation Program is designed to focus on quality and safety throughout all aspects of an organization`s services — from governance and leadership to direct care and infrastructure — to the benefit of patients, clients, residents, staff and volunteers.
There are four sets of standards at the core of the program:
The Brenda Strafford Foundation: Accredited with Exemplary Standing
The Accreditation Standards support The Foundations' ongoing quality improvement activities, and the Accreditation Canada Qmentum Program standards have been fused into our day-to-day operations. Accreditation Canada deploys surveyors every four years to audit The Foundation’s compliance to the national standards.
In the most recent audit held in April 2022, an Exemplary Standing (the highest level) was achieved by The Brenda Strafford Foundation's Aging Care and Senior Living sites (Bow View Manor, Cambridge Manor, Clifton House, Tudor Manor and Wentworth Manor).
