Inpatient Rehabilitation
Work toward your therapy goals with a team of experts during inpatient rehabilitation at an Adventist HealthCare hospital in Maryland. Benefit from 24/7 dedicated care designed to help you get back to the activities you love.
Is Inpatient Therapy Right for Me?
Inpatient care may be right for you if you:
- Can take part in three hours of therapy five days a week, or 15 hours of therapy over 14 days.
- Have a goal to improve your overall mobility and function.
- Need multiple visits with a multidisciplinary team of specialists, on-site doctors and/or registered nurses trained in rehabilitation.
Ask your doctor if you need tests or any procedures before you go to the hospital. This will help save time during the admission process.
What to Pack

- Four to five loose-fitting shirts
- Four to five pairs of comfortable pants, shorts or sweatpants
