The LifeBridge Health Brain & Spine Institute brain injury programs provide a full continuum of neurorehabilitation services to people recovering from acquired brain injury (ABI). These programs are designed to help restore a maximum level of cognitive, physical, emotional and behavioral abilities.
Levindale Coma Emergence Program
Recovery from coma demands a structured, systematic approach to sensory stimulation that is designed for individualized patient needs. The Specialty Hospital at Levindale employs a nationally recognized, proven model of care based on the Ranchos Los Amigos Scale for Coma and JFK Coma Recovery Scale. Emergence from coma is supervised by a physiatrist and the full multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation professionals.
Sinai Hospital Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation Unit
This inpatient program, located at Sinai Hospital, serves adults who have sustained a significant brain injury and who are in need of specialized rehabilitation. Intensive therapy is provided daily on a one-to-one basis, as well as patient-specific specialty groups to meet individual rehabilitative needs. In addition, systematic family education is provided to assist in making appropriate decisions about patient care and discharge options.
RETURN!? Brain Injury Community Re-entry Program
This outpatient program, located at Sinai Hospital, is a comprehensive day treatment program serving adults who have sustained an ABI and require highly skilled neurorehabilitation. RETURN!'s structured treatment approach blends a therapeutic environment with individual rehabilitative therapies. This holistic approach includes psychological support, vocational counseling and medical case management. Return to a meaningful and productive lifestyle is the desired outcome for all program participants.
Mild Brain Injury/Post-concussive Treatment
Mild brain injury accounts for the majority of brain injury cases and is caused by a variety of neurological insults. For those whose natural recovery is slow or incomplete, multidisciplinary services are used to ensure the best outcomes possible. Crucial in this endeavor is neuropsychological testing and counseling focused on identifying and managing cognitive- emotional concerns. Physiatrists and other clinical staff work together to enhance recovery and maximize functional change.
RETURN!? to Work Program
The most important goal for the majority of brain injury survivors is to return to work. LifeBridge Health is working with the Maryland Division of Rehabilitation Services and the Governor?s Brain Injury Re-employment Initiative to provide long-term, supportive employment services to those with ABI. This is a comprehensive clinical effort, requiring the skills of the full brain injury treatment team, vocational rehabilitation specialists and job coaches.
