Baltimore
VA Rehabilitation & Extended Care
Center
The center coordinates
the delivery of rehabilitation services,
including physical therapy, occupational
therapy, kinesiotherapy and recreation
therapy, to achieve the highest level of
recovery and independence for Maryland’s
veterans. The center also provides hospice
and nursing home care to veterans requiring
non-acute inpatient care, in addition to
offering specialized treatment for patients
with Alzheimer’s disease and other
forms of dementia.
The facility offers a cheerful and homelike
setting for veterans, with spacious living
quarters, private bathrooms, beautiful
gardens and patios and warmly decorated
dining areas and group lounges. Sunlight
pours in from skylights and large windows
throughout the facility, helping to brighten
public areas and living quarters for the
residents.
A “Wander
Garden”provides an attractive, accessible
outdoor environment where residents can
walk freely without the fear of getting
lost. The center is also equipped with
an electronic, passive-restraint system
that protects residents from wandering
away from the facility. A greenhouse provides
horticultural therapy and allows residents
to enjoy gardening activities year-round.
The Baltimore VA Rehabilitation & Extended
Care Center is located on a park-like campus
in northeast Baltimore close to Lake Montebello.
It is a short ride from the Baltimore Beltway
and offers ample, free parking for visiting
family and friends. Bus service is easily
accessible, with a bus stop located at
the entrance to the facility.
