ACHC
Accredited
A Higher Standard of Care.
A Greater Peace of Mind.
Choosing a home care agency is one of the most important decisions a family can make. You're inviting someone into your home to care for someone you love. That decision should come with confidence. At Stay At Home Homecare, we believe earning your trust begins with providing care that meets the highest professional standards. That is why we are proud to be ACHC Accredited.
The Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) is one of the nation’s most respected independent healthcare accreditation organizations. ACHC accreditation is awarded only to healthcare providers that successfully demonstrate compliance with rigorous national standards for quality, safety, operational excellence, and patient-centered care.
Achieving this accreditation is not automatic. It requires an extensive independent review of an organization’s:
- Policies and Procedures
- Caregiver Training
- Patient Safety Standards
- Quality Assurance Programs
- Regulatory Compliance
- Operational Excellence
- Continuous Quality Improvement
Independent healthcare surveyors evaluate each of these areas to verify that an organization consistently meets nationally recognized standards.
What Does This Mean for You?
For you and your family, ACHC Accreditation means choosing a provider that has voluntarily
committed to standards that go beyond basic licensing requirements. It means choosing
an agency dedicated to providing care that is:
Safe
Maintaining policies and procedures designed to protect patient safety, privacy, and well-being.
Reliable
Giving families confidence that they have chosen an organization committed to consistency, professionalism, and excellence.
Professionally Managed
Providing ongoing caregiver training, supervision, quality oversight, and accountability.
Continuously
Improving
Regularly reviewing and improving the care we provide to ensure we continue meeting the highest standards.
Why We Pursued ACHC Accreditation
ACHC Accreditation is voluntary. Many agencies simply meet the minimum licensing requirements established by their state. We chose to go further. We wanted an independent healthcare organization to evaluate every aspect of how we operate — not because we had to, but because we believe our patients deserve it. Earning ACHC Accreditation required months of preparation, staff education, documentation, process improvement, and a company-wide commitment to excellence. For us, accreditation isn’t about displaying a seal. It’s about earning your trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ACHC accreditation actually check?
ACHC evaluates an organization’s policies and procedures, caregiver training, patient safety standards, quality assurance programs, regulatory compliance, and continuous quality improvement through an independent review process conducted by outside healthcare surveyors.
Is ACHC accreditation required by law?
No — ACHC accreditation is entirely voluntary. Most agencies only need to meet minimum state licensing requirements, but Stay At Home Homecare chose to pursue this additional independent review because we believe our patients deserve a higher standard.
How is ACHC different from a state license?
A state license confirms an agency meets basic legal requirements to operate. ACHC accreditation goes further, requiring an in-depth, ongoing evaluation of caregiver training, safety protocols, and quality improvement practices by an independent national organization.
How often does an agency need to renew ACHC accreditation?
ACHC accreditation isn’t a one-time achievement — it requires an organization to continually demonstrate compliance with national standards through ongoing quality reviews, making ongoing accountability part of our daily operations.
