Schaffer Extended Care Center

Montefiore New Rochelle provides compassionate, connected care to the southern Westchester community. Through our hospital, health center, extended-care facility, rehabilitation services and home care, we are a medical village serving all generations and all needs.

Schaffer Extended Care Center offers short-term rehabilitation/subacute care and skilled long-term care at our 150-bed facility. Schaffer offers a wide range of healthcare and social services for medically frail seniors and those with chronic conditions or disabilities. 

Collaborative, comprehensive care makes us different. Patients at Schaffer benefit from the broad expertise found within the medical village of Montefiore New Rochelle. 

For more than 30 years, Schaffer’s rehabilitation program has been helping cardiopulmonary, orthopedic and surgery patients return to their homes and families. 

Through Schaffer’s partnership with Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, our physical, occupational, and speech therapists provide comprehensive rehabilitative care and individualized treatment programs for patients onsite.

We are focused on helping patients rapidly recover and regain their function and independence. Outpatient and inpatient physiotherapy staff members trained by Burke experts work to ensure the therapeutic care meets the high standards Burke is recognized for.

Most patients stay at Schaffer for at least a few weeks. So we cultivate an environment that meets the needs and interests of each patient. More than personalized care plans, this includes spaces where friends and family can visit comfortably, and therapeutic recreation that offers engaging activity for all levels of ability.

We provide, free of charge, language interpreter services, telecommunication and amplification devices, and sign language services to persons who are deaf and/or hearing impaired. Please ask your healthcare professional for assistance. 

At the Schaffer Extended Care Center, the doctors, nurses and staff will treat you and your family as partners in your own care. One important way that you can be involved is to speak up. Ask questions, voice your concerns and don’t be afraid to raise any issues relating not only to your care and treatment, but also to overall services.

If you feel your concerns regarding patient care or safety have not been adequately addressed, you may call the New York State Department of Health, Division of Nursing Homes at 1-888-201-4563.

Patient and visitor street parking is available on Guion Place. Visitor parking is also available in the visitors lot located on Lockwood Avenue between VanGuilder Street and Washington Avenue.
