Institute for Care Service Certifications
Trustworthy. Independent. Transparent.
The Institute for Care Service Certifications develops the highest quality standards in the care industry through a rigorous, independent certification process according to international standards.
Only 10% of care services pass our strict quality assessments
Which care service would you choose?
The difference between certified and non-certified care services is clearly visible.

"I feel safe here" thanks to transparent quality standards
-
"My family is in good hands" with visibly trained staff
-
"I feel valued here" as an employee and person
-
"A truly professional team" with noticeable cohesion
-
"I can only recommend them" is what satisfied patients say
Non-certified Care Service
Without independent quality assessment
XYZ Care Service GmbH
How patients and professionals feel without certification:
-
"Can I trust them?" Lack of transparency creates uncertainty
-
"The staff seems overwhelmed" and frequently stressed
-
"Always new faces" instead of familiar contacts
