Brookhaven Retreat is Accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations (JCAHO), which has surveyed this organization and found it to meet the requirements for accreditation.

JCAHO accreditation is nationally recognized as the Gold Seal of Approval in Health Care. Once you receive your accreditation, which Brookhaven Retreat received in 2006, JCAHO will come on site for regular on-site reviews, every 3 years. Brookhaven Retreat completed a JCAHO review in 2009. The results of the review indicated that Brookhaven Retreat is committed to meeting the rigorous national standards continuously. When completing a JCAHO review, it requires involvement from all of the staff to ensure that the standards are continually being met. The staff at Brookhaven Retreat will continue to have a high level of involvement in this process in order to maintain the high standards set forth by JCAHO and have continued compliance with the National Patient Safety Goals, which were validated by JCAHO in 2009. Annually Brookhaven Retreat completes a Periodic Performance Review through JCAHO to ensure that we are following their standards and guidelines.

"Brookhaven Retreat 's accreditation achievement is a demonstration of our leadership and staff commitment to excellence," says Jacqueline Dawes, Founder of Brookhaven Retreat. "Behavioral heath accreditation by the Joint Commission requires organization-wide dedication to providing safe, client-focused care, treatment and services."
