Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital is a specialty hospital in Schenectady, New York, dedicated solely to physical rehabilitation. The hospital offers acute-level rehabilitation care for patients recovering from traumatic injuries, illnesses, and major surgeries, including stroke rehabilitation and post-surgery recovery.
As the only stand-alone hospital in the region devoted to physical rehabilitation, Sunnyview provides inpatient patients with more hours per week of focused rehabilitation compared to nursing homes offering sub-acute care. The hospital accepts nearly all inpatient admissions directly from other hospitals and also operates outpatient clinics throughout the Capital Region for patients seeking physical or occupational therapy services.
The facility features state-of-the-art equipment and houses the James A. Eddy Research Institute, which conducts cutting-edge research in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Sunnyview serves patients from across the Northeast and beyond, drawing individuals from nearly every state over the years.
For families traveling to support patients during treatment, Jack's Place provides free, comfortable lodging. The hospital recognizes the importance of family involvement in patient recovery and generally maintains open visitation policies, though these may be adjusted based on community transmission rates.
Sunnyview is located in Schenectady, outside of Albany, and is a member of St. Peter's Health Partners, a member of Trinity Health. Most patients at the hospital are covered by insurance plans comparable to those accepted at full-service hospitals.
