As of November 2023, KinVillage has been accredited with Exemplary Standing – the highest level of performance achievable in the Accreditation Canada program, which is used by over 10,000 sites in 30 countries. This important milestone reflects the dedication and commitment of KinVillage’s staff to providing safe, high-quality, person and family centred care. KinVillage’s accreditation award is an incredible achievement that would not be possible without the day-to-day commitment of KinVillage’s staff, older adults and family partners, volunteers and supporters.

Accreditation Canada, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits health organizations in Canada and around the world, has again awarded its top-level designation to KinVillage. The evaluations assess performance on more than 700 criteria related to everything from infection control and emergency preparedness to safety and governance. Along with onsite examinations and document reviews, independent evaluators conducted interviews with residents, family members, staff, volunteers and Board members. The designation, known as Exemplary Standing, is the result of a comprehensive assessment against established standards of excellence in healthcare quality and safety.
