Do we need an accessibility plan?
What should be in it?
AccreditationPath AI
Yes — you need a written document that shows how your facility removes barriers for the people you serve. Think about three things:
  • Can everyone physically get to and move through your space?
  • Can you communicate with clients who speak other languages or have hearing/vision needs?
  • Is your staff trained to be welcoming to everyone regardless of background?

Built for behavioral health facilities

Clinical Directors

Running programs and now responsible for accreditation too

Executive Directors

Need to maintain contracts and network access with limited resources

Compliance Coordinators

Drowning in 831+ standards with no clear roadmap

The problem

Accreditation Shouldn't Cost $50K and 18 Months

Most facilities spend weeks and thousands of dollars just figuring out which standards apply to them.

You’re not a compliance officer

You’re running programs and serving people. But now you need to interpret a 440-page manual and turn it into facility-specific policies.

Deadlines are approaching

Ohio mandated accreditation by October 2025. North Carolina enforcement begins January 2026. Payer contracts are at stake.

Consultants charge $15K–$50K

And the process still takes 9–18 months. Most of that work is filling in templates that should have been automated years ago.

AccreditationPath gives you what a consultant delivers at a fraction of the cost. Start with a free assessment—in 5 minutes.
