Why choose the Terrace Rehabilitation Unit?
An interdisciplinary team of professionals plans each patient’s care, under the direction of a rehabilitation physician from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.- Our adult and stroke specialty rehab programs have been awarded accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). The unit also is accredited by the Joint Commission (JCAHO).
- We offer a variety of rehabilitation options to best suit our patients’ needs:
- Acute inpatient rehabilitation for those patients in need of intensive interdisciplinary
rehabilitation, with the ability to participate and benefit from three hours of therapy daily,
and the ability to return to a community setting within several days to weeks
- Chronic rehabilitation for those patients in need of intensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation,
but with an anticipated length of stay of approximately four weeks or more
