About Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Home

Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Home, located at 460 Brielle Ave in Staten Island, carries one of the borough's most storied healthcare legacies. Originally established in the early twentieth century as a tuberculosis sanatorium, the Sea View campus has evolved into a trusted skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by New York City Health + Hospitals — the nation's largest public hospital system. This public health mission means that Sea View is deeply committed to serving all Staten Island residents regardless of their insurance status or financial means, a distinction that sets it apart from many privately operated facilities. The Brielle Avenue campus sits within the heart of Staten Island's Greenbelt, a 3,000-acre natural preserve that is one of the largest remaining natural areas in New York City. Residents and their families benefit from access to this extraordinary green landscape, with forest trails, native flora, and the kind of serene, restorative environment that is rare in an urban healthcare setting. Willowbrook Park, just to the north, offers additional open space including paved walkways, picnic areas, and sports fields — ideal for family outings and therapeutic walks. The Staten Island Mall on Richmond Avenue is minutes away, providing convenient access to retail, dining, and everyday services. The facility's location in the mid-island 10314 corridor also places it near the Richmond County Savings Bank Ballpark (home to the Staten Island FerryHawks) and the amenities of the New Springville neighborhood, giving families multiple options for meals or activities before and after visits. NYC Health + Hospitals brings unparalleled institutional resources to Sea View, including access to the broader H+H specialist network, robust clinical protocols, and a mission-driven culture that prioritizes equitable, compassionate care. The skilled nursing team provides 24-hour nursing services, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and comprehensive long-term care programming — all within a campus that feels more like a retreat than a clinical institution, thanks to its remarkable natural surroundings. For seniors and families seeking skilled nursing care with the backing of a major public health system and the serenity of a forest setting, Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Home offers a genuinely unique option on Staten Island.
