Overview of Schenectady Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

That means one address answers a recovery and a short covered stay. Rehabilitation is named by condition here. Cardiac care, pain management, stroke care, and orthopedic care are each listed.

Short stays are what respite care is booked for, and the person it is really arranged for is usually the one going home at the end of it. Two hundred and forty beds are licensed here.
