The unit is located in the Johns Hopkins Bayview Care Center, which is accredited by the Joint Commission, as well as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
FIM is an assessment completed by the staff which rates how well our patients function at admission, discharge, and 90 days after they have been discharged from the unit. We are able to determine how much our patients have improved with the assistance of the services delivered on our unit and how well they have done three (3) months after discharge. The scoring is based on a total of 1 (total assistance) to 7 (completely independent) scale. Areas scored include self-care, walking, thinking skills, bowel and bladder function. The outcomes described in this packet are from the information collected from the FIM.
