Schaffer Extended Care Center

Located on Guion Place in the heart of New Rochelle, Schaffer Extended Care Center has long served Westchester County families as a trusted nonprofit skilled nursing facility. Its central location places it just steps from Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital — one of the region's primary acute care institutions — making it an ideal destination for patients transitioning from hospital care and requiring continued skilled nursing or rehabilitation support. As a non-profit corporation, Schaffer Extended Care Center operates with a mission-first philosophy, reinvesting in clinical staff development, resident programming, and facility improvements rather than shareholder returns. This organizational model often translates to a more personalized, community-focused approach to care — one that families in New Rochelle and throughout Westchester have come to trust. New Rochelle's location in southern Westchester County makes it one of the most accessible communities in the region. The downtown area is served directly by the Metro-North New Haven Line, with trains connecting to Grand Central Terminal in under 40 minutes — a major advantage for families commuting from New York City. Residents and visitors can enjoy Hudson Park's waterfront promenade along Long Island Sound, explore local dining on Centre Avenue and North Avenue, or visit the historic Thomas Paine Cottage Museum nearby. The city's Memorial Park offers open green space for outdoor family visits and therapeutic walks. For seniors and families seeking skilled nursing care in a community that combines nonprofit values with urban accessibility, Schaffer Extended Care Center offers a compelling option in one of Westchester's most dynamic and well-connected cities. The team works collaboratively with physicians, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers to build individualized care plans that respect each resident's dignity, history, and goals.
