Since 1998, several of our key occupational rehabilitation and brain injury services have been accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF International is an independent, non-profit organization that surveys and accredits health and human services providers worldwide. Surveys include reviews of operations and service delivery practices, tours of clinic facilities, confidential interviews with stakeholders, and documentation reviews. Our current accreditation expires on April 30, 2025.
In Ontario, we provide rehabilitation services for LTC Homes that have achieved full accreditation through Accreditation Canada. We are in compliance with the Standards of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and the Colleges of Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists of Ontario.
Regular satisfaction surveys will provide staff, Residents, and families with the opportunity to share feedback on the rehabilitation services they receive, to ensure that the needs of Residents and Homes are met.
Our team of Quality Improvement Leaders makes sure that we continually measure our services, respond to feedback, and make ongoing improvements aligned with Standards put forth by accreditation bodies.
A recent CARF Survey commented on the high quality of our staff:
“Staff members are to be recognized for their passion and commitment in working towards improving the quality of life for the clients they serve. It is evident through all aspects of the work they perform and the excellent relationships developed with their clients.”
Our accreditation is a public commitment that we strive to:
- Involve persons served and their families in their service planning
- Respect individual cultural preferences
- Be accountable to our funding sources, referral agencies, and the community at large
- Address health and safety concerns, such as building safety and emergency preparedness
- Maintain management practices that are efficient, cost-effective, and based on outcomes and consumer satisfaction

Awards
We aspire to be the best at everything we do. We have been recognized as a multiple award winning employer. Here are some of the awards we have earned across the years.
BiM received an Employee Recommended Workplace Award, a joint venture between The Globe and Mail and Morneau Shepell. Employees were asked to evaluate four areas of their life to compile a picture of their “Total Health”, including (1) Physical (biometric, medical and behavioural factors); (2) Mental (anxiety, depression, burnout and coping skills); (3) Work (engagement, productivity, safety and lost time risk); and (4) Life (financial security, relationships and work-life blending). Employees who completed the survey received an individualized report outlining current status and specific steps for improvement. BiM received an aggregate report on the organization’s overall health, and obtained a score that reflects a healthy workplace where employees are thriving. Areas of strength were highlighted, such as low tobacco and pain medication use, workplace diversity, respect, and strong support networks. The Survey provided an opportunity to foster shared accountability for improving health, engagement and productivity.
BiM won the Diversity and Inclusion Culture Champion Award in the Medium-Sized Business Category. The UnTapped Workplace Inclusion Awards is the largest awards program in British Columbia recognizing the outstanding achievements of provincial employers and individuals who lead diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The award recognizes diversity and inclusion in relation to leadership, including hiring and engagement practices, communication, decision making, team building and strategic thinking; impact on the world of work; and innovation.
BiM is a winner of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Psychologically Healthy Workplace Honors. The designation recognizes organizations from across the United States and Canada that have created work environments where employees and business thrive. In the multi-step application process, employers provide details about their healthy workplace practices, employees complete questionnaires, and psychologists appointed by the APA conducts site visits with the organizations’ leaders and employees. “The employers receiving this honor have demonstrated a commitment to programs and policies that take people and performance into consideration,” said David W.

The range of sizes and diversity of industries recognized show that any workplace has the potential to be a psychologically healthy one.”
