NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Family & Individual Resources, BFAIR, has successfully completed an audit by the state Department of Developmental Services Office of Quality Enhancement (QUEST), resulting in a two-year license for residential and individual home supports, as well has its day habilitation and employment support services.

The QUEST audit took place in early July, with the designation of the two-year license on July 20.

In an effort to maintain compliance and continue to provide the highest standard of quality care, BFAIR regularly undergoes auditing by accrediting and licensing bodies (ie. QUEST and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities). This recent QUEST audit reviewed health and safety standards of the fore mentioned programs.

"The auditors offered positive feedback. They found that our quality assurance systems that are in place are solid and working well to keep people safe and protect their human rights," Ethel Altiery, associate executive director, said. "We strive to have a high level of personalization in services, homes, and choice.  The audit confirmed that we are valuing and using feedback from the people that we serve."

BFAIR is a member agency of the Northern Berkshire United Way and the Williamstown Community Chest.  For more info, visit www.bfair.org.
