What to Expect During Check-In at Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center

Every visitor goes through multiple security screenings, including a body scanner. It's thorough, it applies to everyone, and it takes time - plan accordingly.

  1. Arrive ready to be screened - check-in includes multiple security screenings, not just a quick sign-in.
  2. Go through the body scanner - the body scanner is part of the required screening process.
  3. Complete any additional screening steps - expect more than one check as part of entry.

Tip: Build in extra time. Multiple screenings (including a body scanner) mean check-in moves slower than you might expect.

Allowed Items

  • Photo ID
  • Car keys or a key fob
  • Diapers (as needed), placed in a clear plastic bag
  • Formula powder (as needed), placed in a clear plastic bag
  • Unopened, sealed baby food (as needed), placed in a clear plastic bag

DJRC keeps what you can bring inside very limited. Plan on carrying only your photo ID and car keys or key fob. Visiting with an infant? Baby supplies like diapers, formula powder, and unopened sealed baby food are allowed - just pack them in a clear plastic bag so staff can check them quickly.

Leave the spandex at home. If your outfit is tight, stretchy, or athleisure-style with spandex fabric, pick something else - you could be turned away at check-in.

Nothing see-through. Even if it looks subtle in regular lighting, transparent or translucent clothing can get you turned away. Stick with fully opaque fabrics.
