About Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital

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.

Amir was very helpful to me. For years I had not exercised and was very stiff every part of my body. Amir came up with a plan for me while in treatment and for discharge. When I first started going to physical therapy, I was in so much pain. My pain is a 2. Before treatment, my pain was an 8–10 on a scale of 1-10. I would recommend anyone who needs to go get physical therapy to him. This is the first time I completely finished my physical therapy. I’m glad I received the help that I needed. Sunnyview is blessed to have him. He made a difference in my life. I know that he can make a difference in your life too. As long as you take his advice. 😊

I went to Sunnyview rehabilitation for recovery of a complete knee replacement. My physical therapist was Erica Gauthier And I couldn’t have been more happy with my outcome. I found her to be an experienced empathetic thoughtful knowledgeable therapist who Took me through a variety of exercises that got me to my goal without experiencing Excessive pain, but a soft approach that worked wonders for my knee and overall health. She explained every exercise clearly in a way that I could understand and how the muscles and tendons worked in the recovery process. She is an asset to Sunnyview Hospital and if I had to recover from another surgery she would be my first choice. Thank you, Erica for your great care every session in getting me to my recovery goal. Sincerely, Helen Van Wormer

A little respect goes a long way. I have my dignity intact and feel like I'm being treated by family. There is no pressure if you don't feel up to doing what is requested. You are not rushed. Your comfort is a priority. Kudos from the custodial staff to the doctors. Thank you !

Drivers Ed classes at Sunnyview Hospital are second to none. It is amazing they offer specialized drive lessons for students that need personalized teaching & extra time to process/practice what they've learned. My son passed his DMV drive test the first time due to his very patient, kind instructor, Linda. We appreciate that my son had this opportunity to learn to drive in a safe, calm environment at Sunnyview Hospital.

In November of 2023 my wife Kimberlee was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. As a result she suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and was air-lifted to Albany Medical Center. After about three weeks she was transferred to Sunnyview. She transferred back and forth a couple of times. She spent a total of three months equally divided between the two. As an inpatient she received Occupational, Speech and Physical Therapy 5-6 days a week. After returning home in February of 2024 she has received therapy as an outpatient. The care she received at Sunnyview has been exemplary. Both from a medical standpoint and her therapy sessions, the staff has been wonderful. She has made great progress thanks in large part to the wonderful care she has received.
