Verify that the facility operates under active medical leadership (such as practicing physician Dr. Milind Kumavat) rather than purely hospitality management.

Ensure the sanctuary has formal transfer agreements with JCI or NABH-accredited tertiary care hospitals situated within a 15-to-20-minute ambulance drive.
