Grandview Kids has achieved a perfect score in its recent Accreditation Canada survey, earning Accreditation with Exemplary Standing, the highest possible designation. To put this into context, Grandview Kids was evaluated on hundreds of criteria, including 77 Required Organizational Practices (ROPs), meeting every single one.
“I want to congratulate and thank every member of Team Grandview for contributing to our successful Accreditation survey. I am privileged to work alongside such a highly motivated and talented group of changemakers and innovators in our community,” says Grandview Kids CEO, Tom McHugh. “From thorough on-site reviews, to interviews, observations, documentation and a detailed assessment against hundreds of criteria, Team Grandview truly went above and beyond to demonstrate how deeply committed Grandview Kids is to excellence in paediatric rehabilitation.”
Accreditation Canada is an independent, non-profit organization that sets standards of excellence for quality and safety in health care organizations across Canada. Grandview Kids participates in accreditation on a four-year cycle and is assessed against standards that examine Governance, Leadership, Infection Prevention and Control, Medication Management, and care provision practices for those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. By participating in Accreditation, Grandview Kids is enabled to critically evaluate its services and care, ensuring they are delivered to the highest standards.
In November 2025, Accreditation Canada surveyors spoke with Grandview Kids’ Board of Directors, clinicians and staff, parents and caregivers and community partners. In line with rigorous national standards, our surveyors closely examined the quality, safety and overall client experience across our sites.
Throughout their time at our sites across Durham Region, the surveyors applauded Grandview Kids’ emphasis on client safety and continuous quality improvement through its evidence-based approach to clinical care, innovative community and academic partnerships, leadership development and its robust and impactful Family Engagement program.
“At Grandview Kids, client safety and quality care remain top priorities for both leadership and staff. Care delivery is grounded in evidence-based practices and is consistently safe, family-centred and responsive to client needs.” – Accreditation Canada Report
Grandview Kids is proud, once again, to have received Accreditation with Exemplary Standing and recognition for its excellence in providing high-quality care to children and youth with physical, communication and developmental needs, and their families.
