Selecting an Accrediting Body<br />

<strong>Accreditation</strong> requirements –<br />

“The Astor Home for Children became one of the first<br />

agency to achieve accreditation by the <strong>Joint</strong><br />

Comm<strong>is</strong>sion in 1974. We believed then, as we do<br />

now, that for Astor to be a world class agency, we<br />

must set and meet the highest standards. <strong>Joint</strong><br />

Comm<strong>is</strong>sion offers us the stringent standards that<br />

insure our children and families receive the care,<br />

treatment and educational services they deserve.”<br />
