Agency Audit Scores Just Released

Posted by: | Posted on: November 10, 2010

It is with great pleasure that we announce that SunriseArc has achieved an Overall Provider Discovery Review Score of 99% on this year’s annual Delmarva Foundation agency review conducted under contract for APD and AHCA.  This achievement clearly signifies that SunriseArc has embarked upon a new era in its development of a support delivery system that is state-of-the-art and ranks superior.  This process started two short years ago with the complete re-design of SunriseArc’s services delivery system based upon a strategic combination of proven methods to form a person-directed planning process that has been branded and is unique to SunriseArc.

A score of this magnitude is almost impossible to attain, and yet it is now ours.  It represents what SunriseArc can do when we serve others by means of utilizing the very best we have to offer, fully realizing that this accomplishment was made possible by the gifts that we are given and meant to share with others.
