Why Choose BIR? 

Why You Should Choose Baylor

After a catastrophic injury or illness, you need far more than just physical rehabilitation. Psychological and social adjustments are just as critical. Choosing the right rehabilitation facility can make a world of difference. 

The Right Care at the Right Time

At Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation (BIR), one way we maximize your rehabilitation is to ensure that you begin therapy when you’re ready to take full advantage of the benefits. Some insurance plans limit the number of rehabilitation days covered. Therefore, we carefully schedule your admittance to allow you to make the most of your time with us and the rehabilitation coverage your insurance provides. Not all facilities are as careful with your financial resources. But we are. 

Going the Distance is Worth It

We know it’s difficult to leave home. But here, the quality of care you receive will be more than worth it. Our reputation for exceptional outcomes is well known. U.S. News & World Report has named us among the nation’s top rehabilitation hospitals 13 times. That’s why many patients travel from other states and from great distances to benefit from our expertise, comprehensive programs and support services. Once you’ve arrived and begin seeing results, you’ll know you made the right choice. 

A Culture of Healing

At BIR, everything we do is aimed at making a life-changing difference in the lives of our patients. Your care teams, including physicians, nurses and therapists, are specialists in your specific diagnosis. They are experts in their fields, and many have exceptional longevity with our hospital. We make your goals our goals, and design your rehabilitation program to help you meet them. 

What is more, you can count on psychological support not only from physicians but also from peers who have traveled the same road and gone on to lead successful lives. Furthermore, because we treat high numbers of patients with a variety of complex injuries, you’ll benefit from the support and camaraderie of others facing the same challenges. We also help you meet your spiritual needs. You are not a diagnosis to us. You are a whole, complex and unique individual searching for the path to a productive, fulfilling life. Choosing to begin your journey here, nurtured by our culture of extraordinary care, will make all the difference.
