SWPA Area Agency on Aging, Inc. has received accreditation for Care Management for Long Term Services and Supports (CM-LTSS), formerly Aging Waiver, from the National Committee for Quality Assurance Review Oversight Committee.
The two-year accreditation period runs through December 2019.
According to NCQA standards, CM-LTSS accreditation is granted to agencies which “implement best practices for person-centered care planning and effective care transitions.”
A non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality, NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations. It also recognizes clinicians and practices in key areas of performance.
“We’re pleased to receive this national accreditation in recognition of the high quality performance of our staff serving older adults in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties,” said Leslie T. Grenfell, executive director of the SWPA Area Agency on Aging Inc.
Established in 1985 as a private, non-profit corporation, SWPA Area Agency on Aging Inc. provides planned, coordinated and collaborative programs of health and social services for seniors in its three-county service area. The Area Agency on Aging is an affiliate of Southwestern Pennsylvania Human Services.
