Lifted Hospice is proudly accredited by the Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP), the nation’s first independent, nonprofit accrediting body for community-based healthcare.
Our hospice accreditation is active from October 15, 2024 through October 15, 2027, confirming that Lifted Hospice meets—and consistently exceeds—the highest standards for quality, safety, and patient-centered care.
CHAP accreditation is recognized nationally as the gold standard in home- and community-based healthcare, verifying that we meet every federal requirement while holding ourselves accountable to a higher level of clinical excellence.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) establishes the Conditions of Participation—the minimum federal standards every hospice must meet to serve Medicare patients.
CHAP goes beyond those requirements.
Its Standards of Excellence assess not only compliance, but also performance, leadership, staff competency, and quality-improvement outcomes.
In short: CMS defines the floor. CHAP defines the ceiling.
Through accreditation, Lifted Hospice demonstrates a voluntary commitment to exceed the baseline—to deliver care verified as safe, compassionate, and continuously improving.
We pursued CHAP accreditation because doing things right matters more than doing them fast.
Accreditation is not required to operate a hospice, but for us, it’s a visible way to honor our patients, families, and team by welcoming outside accountability.
CHAP surveyors conduct unannounced evaluations of our care, documentation, and leadership practices every three years. Their findings confirm that our approach to hospice meets national benchmarks and reflects our values of excellence, integrity, compassion, innovation, and joy.
Choosing a CHAP-accredited hospice means choosing assurance:
Verified Quality: Our clinical practices are reviewed against national standards of excellence.
Safety and Compliance: Accreditation confirms that patient safety, privacy, and ethical practices meet or exceed expectations.
Continuous Improvement: CHAP accreditation lasts three years, with required quality reports and improvement plans along the way.
Accountability and Trust: Families can feel confident knowing that Lifted Hospice welcomes independent oversight and transparency.

Yes. CMS establishes the minimum federal Conditions of Participation. CHAP’s Standards of Excellence evaluate how well a hospice performs above those requirements.
Not yet. Accreditation is voluntary, but CMS has increased oversight, and many healthcare systems prefer accredited providers for partnership and referrals.
Accreditation gives families peace of mind, knowing their hospice has been independently reviewed for safety, quality, and compassionate performance.
