Like many medical facilities across the nation, our supply chain is feeling the effects of Hurricane Helene’s aftermath. Johns Hopkins Medicine currently has a sufficient sterile fluid supply to meet treatment, surgical and emergency needs. However, we have put proactive conservation measures into place to ensure normal operations, always with patient safety as our first priority. Examples of sterile fluids include intravenous (IV), irrigation and dialysis fluids. Learn more.
Masks Strongly Recommended but Not Required in Maryland
Respiratory viruses continue to circulate in Maryland, so masking remains strongly recommended when you visit Johns Hopkins Medicine clinical locations in Maryland. To protect your loved one, please do not visit if you are sick or have a COVID-19 positive test result. Get more resources on masking and COVID-19 precautions.
Johns Hopkins Bayview Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit
At the Johns Hopkins Bayview Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, our mission is to provide comprehensive inpatient, team-based rehabilitation to improve the health, function and well-being of our patients. Our 33-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit offers inpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy for patients who require intensive rehabilitation, including specialty programs in geriatric and stroke rehabilitation.
A team of experts, including an on-site physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, works together to help patients regain function, become as independent as possible and return to a community setting. Our adult and stroke specialty rehabilitation programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and The Joint Commission.
The Johns Hopkins Bayview Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit has several specialty programs available to patients throughout their stay:
Yoga Program
Patients practice yoga guided by a trained yoga professional, with support from our therapists. These sessions are adapted to personal rehabilitation goals and condition, while promoting standing tolerance, balance, breath support, confidence, posture and mobility.
Dining Group
Patients practice and achieve independence with self-feeding and swallowing in a safe, social environment that encourages mutual support among group members.
Upper Extremity Paresis Group
Patients with upper extremity muscle weakness or partial paralysis (paresis) engage in high-repetition, meaningful task-specific training to help improve hand and arm function and strength.
Relaxation Programs
These programs promote patient coping, pain management and well-being through guided practices and resources, while building lifelong skills and strategies such as breath control, stress management and emotional resilience.
Stroke Rehabilitation Support Group
This support and education group offers patients and families a space to share their experiences and receive peer support during stroke recovery, while practicing learned communication and cognitive strategies with their peers.

Private Patient Rooms
Our inpatient rehabilitation unit at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center features private patient rooms that provide a safe and comfortable place recovery.
Recumbent Cross-Trainer
The device simulates walking and offers a low-impact, whole-body workout. We use it to help patients improve endurance by safely increasing intensity during cardiovascular exercise. For patients with limb weakness or paralysis, the harness attachment supports the use of the affected limb to promote neuromuscular recovery.
Rehabilitation Gym
Our inpatient rehabilitation gym offers opportunities for many activities that assist with improving walking, stair climbing, balance, strength, range of motion, endurance and overall independence.
Mock Kitchen and Activities of Daily Living Suite
The mock kitchen allows patients to practice daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, appliance use and laundry. While the activities of daily living suite is set up for practicing common household and personal hygiene tasks, such as making the bed or brushing teeth. These functional tasks help patients regain skills needed for independent living.
Bimanual Arm Trainer
Bimanual arm trainer (BAT) uses simultaneous arm movements to improve strength and range of motion of an affected arm after a stroke. This device gamifies the therapy approach to improve engagement and repetitions, which are important for neuro-motor recovery.
Community Recreation Room
Our community room is a perfect space for recreational therapy, which uses games and other activities to aid in psychological and physical recovery and well-being.
Car Simulator
The car simulator allows patients to practice getting in and out of a sedan. This helps people who have movement restrictions after surgery or limb loss, as well as those who have conditions affecting balance, range of motion, mobility and strength.
Speech-Language Therapy Rooms
Our private 1-1 speech and language therapy treatment rooms provide a quiet and distraction-free environment to assess, diagnose and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive communication and swallowing disorders.
Interactive Therapy for Neurological Recovery
The Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) helps challenge and assess hand-eye coordination, reaction time, visuospatial perception, visual/auditory processing, working memory, and physical/cognitive endurance.
Located on the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus
The inpatient rehabilitation unit is inside the John R. Burton Pavilion at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and is accessible from Hopkins Bayview Circle. Parking is available nearby at the Mid-Campus Lot.
