The Joint Commission will conduct periodic, unannounced accreditation surveys of The Meadows. The purpose of the surveys is to evaluate the organization’s compliance with nationally established Joint Commission standards. The survey results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which, accreditation should be awarded the organization.

The Joint Commission standards deal with organization quality and safety-of-care issues and the safety of the environment in which care, treatment and services are provided.

When an individual has any concerns about client care and safety in the organization, that the organization has not addressed, he or she is encouraged to contact the organization’s management. If the concerns cannot be resolved through the organization’s management, the individual is encouraged to contact The Joint Commission

The public may contact The Joint Commission’s Office of Quality Monitoring to report any concerns or register complaints about a Joint Commission accredited health care organization by either calling 800-994-6610 or e-mailing complaint@jointcommission.org.
