Sinai Rehabilitation Center
 At the Sinai Rehabilitation Center, we're fixed on a goal: to restore maximum physical and functional potential, address the psychological affects of the disability, and to minimize the time it takes to return to daily activity. The center treats patients of all  ages, from infants to the elderly. Sinai's expertise have long been recognized. The Sinai Rehabilitation Center (SRC) was the first rehabilitation facility in Maryland to become part of an acute care hospital.
The Sinai Rehabilitation Center provides services for patients disabled as a result of stroke, cancer, neurologic disorders, head injury, trauma, amputation, organ transplantation, and orthopedic conditions. There are three centers within the Rehabilitation Hospital: the Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, Traumatic Brain Injury Unit and Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit. All programs are JCAHO and CARF accredited.
The Brain Injury Programs at Sinai
The Brain Injury Programs at Sinai Hospital provide an unmatched continuum of neuro-rehabilitation services to patients recovering from a brain injury. They are designed to help restore an individual to the maximum level of thinking, physical, emotional, and behavioral abilities. Experience, empathy and expertise combine to create a competent, caring atmosphere in which a patient's progress and adjustment to injury are primary concerns. Our 20-plus years of service, along with a strong commitment to family education and support produce significant functional outcomes and high rates of satisfaction. Sinai's Brain Injury Programs range from providing specialized medical care in our inpatient setting to promoting a positive community re-entry in our RETURN! Day Programs.
The Traumatic Brain Injury and Neuro-Rehabilitation Units
The Traumatic Brain Injury and Neuro-Rehabilitation units are designed to provide medical recovery and improve patients' quality of life. Our focus is on enhancing self care, educating patients and families, and preparing patients for the transition to the next level of care. This may include home and/or continued rehabilitation at a Subacute, Home Care, Outpatient, or Day Treatment Setting. We understand that families play a key role in a successful rehabilitation program. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with families to support, educate, and assist them every step of the way. The treatment team provides individualized and group treatment to improve communication, cognition, swallowing, functional activities of daily living and physical abilities. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on psychosocial, behavioral, and emotional well-being.
RETURN! Brain Injury Community Re-entry Program
The RETURN! Brain Injury Program at Sinai offers comprehensive day treatment services to brain-injured adults in a structured, supervised setting. RETURN! is designed to improve quality of life, enhance self-care, and prepare clients for transition to the home, community, and work. RETURN! provides individualized and group treatment to remediate communication, cognition, functional activities of daily living ,and psycho-emotional concerns. Clients are assisted in creating a realistic, sustainable aftercare plan for their future.
The RETURN!—To Work Vocational Program at Sinai Rehabilitation Center
The RETURN!—To Work Vocational Program at Sinai Rehabilitation Center is designed to successfully rehabilitate, train, and competitively place individuals with acquired brain injuries (ABI) back into the workforce. Using a supported employment model, the program provides both neuro-rehabilitation and case coordination for individuals seeking work in the community. When the person is ready, job development, placement and coaching are provided to ensure the best vocational match and successful adjustment to the work setting. Job coaching and case coordination are provided long-term in this model of treatment. RETURN!—To Work is closely aligned with the Governor’s Employment Initiative for Persons with ABI and the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) to identify participants and coordinate care. Individuals can also be referred through Worker’s Compensation, Long-term Disability, or self-referral.
Mild Brain Injury(MBI) Program
Mild Brain Injury(MBI) is a disease that commonly occurs when one sustains a significant blow to the head from a sports-related injury, motor vehicle accident, an accidental fall, or an assault. Although the majority of concussive injuries improve via natural recovery, others require medical and rehabilitative efforts to manage lingering symptoms. Other causes of mild brain injury, such as a loss of oxygen to the brain, intracranial bleeding, or surgical procedures for an aneurysm or brain tumor, will require specialized interventions as well. In either case, moderate changes in a person’s thinking, emotional or physical abilities may occur that significantly impact everyday life.
The Mild Brain Injury Program is structured to medically manage those individuals sustaining a recent brain injury or work with those whose longstanding MBI-related symptoms have not resolved. Best outcomes occur when MBI is treated immediately, clear information is provided and consistent follow-up services are offered. However, for those who have not received such care and their symptoms remain, there is much that can be done to improve or eliminate their effects. Our comprehensive, coordinated programming ensures the best in MBI treatment
We encourage you to contact us with any questions about these programs or as a resource in your medical decision-making. Please call (410)-601-8823 to speak with our admissions coordinator.
