Our team at the Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital – Bartram Campus will provide exceptional care to address the region’s rehabilitation needs. The hospital features the innovative technology, clinical expertise and proven treatments synonymous with the Brooks organization.

Patient rooms

We made our 60 private patients rooms larger for increased safety and functional movements. Each one features: a refrigerator, a safe for valuables, a bed alarm with automated messages to the patient, a digital whiteboard to display daily messages and Sonifi TVs for both entertainment and education. Our bariatric rooms also have a lift and ceiling track that leads into the bathroom for additional safety.

There is a separate area for family nourishment that can be accessed even if groups are in session.

The Day Room leads to an outdoor patio available for meals and socializing.

Therapy courtyard

An integral part of our rehabilitation, the outdoor courtyard features different inclines and terrains to help patients practice walking and wheeling when they return home. It also includes a putting green, hand bike, and tricycle for additional leisure activities.

Therapy gyms

Brooks invests heavily in technology to provide our patients with the latest innovations available. Many times, our expertise in evidence-based rehabilitation helps develop these emerging technologies and gets them into widespread use sooner.

For example, Brooks is the only rehabilitation provider in the country to offer Cyberdyne’s Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), the world’s first advanced robotic treatment device shown to improve a patient’s ability to walk.

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Suite

A training space that can more closely mimic the home setting. It includes a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and laundry area to practice functional tasks. Our system on care allows us to collaborate with the ultimate goal of success with each patient. A Brooks Home Health educator will conduct training in the ADL suite, focusing on tools to help patients on their return to home.

Gait Hallway

A separate space for patients and therapists to practice and improve walking skills. It features the ZeroG, the most advanced robotic body-weight support network available.

Custom Artwork

Artist Mike Elsass of Dayton, Ohio, created custom art commemorating the opening of Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital – Bartram Campus. Titled “Colors of Energy”, this piece represents beginning, appreciation, inertia and peace. It is made from mixed media of recycled steel, acrylic, silicate sand, mica flakes, gels, rust and shells.
