Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation

Our 24-bed Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (IRU) has 10 private rooms and 7 semi-private rooms, all of which have large, handicap-accessible bathrooms. The unit features a transitional living center that simulates typical household activities. Patients also have exclusive use of a dining room and rehabilitation gym, which creates greater opportunities for socialization – an important aspect of recovery. There is also a sun porch area for socializing with family and other visitors, and an open patio area that can be used weather permitting.

Only CARF-accredited IRU between Schenectady and Rochester

In recognition of the quality services and programs provided to IRU patients, our Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit received re-accredited for a three-year period by the Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Organizations receiving three-year terms of accreditation have voluntarily participated in a rigorous peer review process and demonstrated to a team of on-site surveyors a commitment to CARF’s accreditation conditions and standards.

Visiting Hours

Our rehabilitation team understands that support from your family and friends is a necessary part of your recovery. We welcome visitors from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day with extended times on a case-by-case basis; however, your attendance at scheduled therapy sessions must be a priority.
