Everlight Hospice Earns CHAP Accreditation: The Gold Standard in Compassionate Care

October 2025 | The Everlight Journal

We’re proud to share that Everlight Hospice has officially earned accreditation from CHAP — the Community Health Accreditation Partner.

This prestigious Gold Seal of Approval represents more than a milestone. It’s a reflection of our steadfast commitment to excellence, safety, and the compassionate end-of-life care that defines who we are.

What CHAP Accreditation Means

CHAP is the nation’s first and most respected accrediting body for community-based healthcare organizations. Their rigorous, multi-day evaluation process examines every facet of care — from clinical documentation and leadership practices to patient safety, emergency preparedness, and quality improvement.

By earning this distinction, Everlight Hospice demonstrated that we meet and exceed the highest federal and state standards for hospice care and operations.

In short: CHAP accreditation means our care doesn’t just meet expectations — it sets the bar higher.

Why This Matters to Families

When families see the CHAP Gold Seal, they can be confident that their loved one is receiving care grounded in best practices, compassion, and continuous improvement.

At Everlight Hospice, we have always believed that doing the right thing for our patients is the foundation of everything we do. CHAP accreditation simply makes that belief official — recognized and validated at a national level.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Accreditation isn’t the finish line; it’s the start of a new chapter. We are dedicated to maintaining CHAP’s standards across every area of care — from staff education and infection control to our ongoing QAPI (Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement) initiatives.

Our team remains “Ever Present. Ever Caring. Everlight.” — shining a light of comfort, dignity, and hope in every home we serve.
