How long does it take to become accredited after you apply?

Once your paperwork is complete and your floor plan is approved, the QUAD A staff can usually secure a surveyor to evaluate your facility within 30 days. For Medicare accreditation, an additional Life Safety Code inspection is performed prior to the QUAD A Medicare inspection. QUAD A cannot guarantee a Life Safety Code inspection within 30 days. Statistically, most facilities fully achieve accreditation 90 to 150 days after submitting an application. For those requesting an immediate survey in a non-Medicare program, we may be able to accommodate but an additional fee would apply.
