I am incredibly proud to share that we have successfully renewed Joint Commission Accreditation, further solidifying our commitment to excellence in adolescent behavioral health. Cascade Academy has been Joint Commission Accredited since 2021, and maintains accreditation in our latest survey.  This accomplishment is especially meaningful as Cascade Home received a flawless score—zero findings—during the evaluation, a rare and distinguished achievement.

The Significance of Joint Commission Accreditation            

The Joint Commission is a trusted, independent accrediting body that holds healthcare organizations to the highest standards of safety, quality, and patient care. The accreditation process scrutinizes everything from patient safety and treatment efficacy to organizational culture and staff training. Achieving this accreditation is not just a badge of honor but a clear indicator that our treatment programs meet the most rigorous national standards.

For families and referral sources, Joint Commission Accreditation offers reassurance that Cascade Programs is delivering the highest level of care for our students: adolescent girls struggling with anxiety and OCD. It demonstrates that we are not only compassionate but also accountable, ensuring that our care is structured, evidence-based, and continuously improving.

I’m particularly proud to highlight that Cascade Home achieved zero findings during its Joint Commission survey. This means that not a single area of our care, safety measures, or operational protocols was found lacking. A result like this is extremely rare and reflects the exceptional work of every department within our organization. 

The dedication of our team from clinicians to support staff, is unparalleled. Their hard work ensures that the girls in our care receive world-class treatment in a safe and supportive environment.

Moving Forward with Excellence

Our achievement of Joint Commission Accreditation reinforces our position as a leader in adolescent behavioral health. As we move forward, we remain deeply committed to providing the best possible OCD and Anxiety care for the students and families involved in our programs. This milestone inspires us to continue raising the bar in treatment standards and service excellence.

To the families, referral sources, and communities who trust us with your children and clients, I extend my heartfelt thanks. Your trust motivates us to keep striving for excellence, and we look forward to continuing to serve with the highest level of care.
