Accreditation
In addition to an annual independent financial audit of the Bay Area Rehabilitation Center (the Center) financial statements, the Center undergoes numerous reviews and evaluations of our services. The following organizations have completed detailed research on the Center and the services we provide to the community:
American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities:
The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) was established in 1980 to standardize and improve the quality of health care in outpatient facilities. AAAASF accredits thousands of facilities world-wide. Physicians, clinicians, legislatures, state/federal health agencies and patients acknowledge that AAAASF sets the "Gold Standard in Accreditation."
Bay Area Rehabilitation Center met the standards set by the AAAASF Medicare Program for Outpatient Physical Therapy.

Better Business Bureau:
Bay Area Rehabilitation Center meets the Better Business Bureau’s Standards for Charitable Accountability. Those standards can be found on the Better Business Bureau’s website.
The BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability were developed to assist donors in making sound giving decisions and to foster public confidence in charitable organizations. The standards seek to encourage fair and honest solicitation practices, to promote ethical conduct by charitable organizations and to advance support of philanthropy.
These standards replace the separate standards of the National Charities Information Bureau and the CBBBs' Foundation and its Philanthropic Advisory Service that were in place at the time the organizations merged.
The Standards for Charity Accountability were developed with professional and technical assistance from representatives of small and large charitable organizations, the accounting profession, grant making foundations, corporate contributions officers, regulatory agencies, research organizations and the BBBs. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance also commissioned significant independent research on donor expectations to ensure that the views of the general public were reflected in the standards.

United Way:
Through an annual allocations process, citizens review agency budgets, evaluate agency requests for funds, and prioritize community needs. Their recommendations are forwarded to the United Way board of directors, also composed of volunteers, which finalizes the decision about how donations are distributed to the United Way member agencies. The Center is funded by both the United Way of Greater Baytown Area & Chambers County and the United Way of Greater Houston.
