Maravilla, a luxury senior living community in Santa Barbara, has received its fifth three-year accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Similar to a five-star rating in the hospitality industry, this certification is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to a retirement community and shows the community’s substantial conformance to the advanced values established by CARF.
To receive the three-year accreditation outcome, Maravilla completed a rigorous review process in which they effectively demonstrated the mastery of more than 1,000 CARF standards. The accreditation applies to Maravilla’s Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care programs.
CARF surveyors particularly commended Maravilla for changing the name of its Memory Care residence to Enliven, to reflect the goal of helping residents feel more connected and to thrive. In addition, the surveyors commented on Club Maravilla, which provides daily opportunities to help residents transition from assisted living to Enliven.
Maravilla’s employment practices were also recognized, especially its success in hiring, training, and promoting from within. The community enjoys high staff retention, and 50 percent of new hires come from staff referrals.
“This fifth consecutive accreditation represents our commitment to our residents’ comfort and well-being,” said Ruth Grande, executive director for Maravilla. “We strive to offer superior service and amenities as well as exceptional, person-centered care. In addition, we value and recognize each employee’s contribution to Maravilla’s ongoing success.”
Comprised of 20 acres, Maravilla is located in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The community’s state-of-the-art campus offers a wealth of resort-style amenities such as multiple movie theaters, fully equipped fitness center, high-tech Internet lounge, heated swimming pool and spa, on-site beauty/barber salon, and gourmet restaurant-style dining room. Maravilla’s campus community provides residents access to care and services as their needs change. From Independent Living to Assisted Living and Enliven™ Memory Care, Maravilla provides a continuum of care to meet residents’ needs today and in the future.
