Taconic Rehabilitation and Nursing at Hopewell sits over on Summit Court in Fishkill, right in the Hudson River Valley, pretty close to Route 52 and only ten minutes from I-84, so families can get there easily when they need to, and the facility holds 160 beds. The place offers nursing care and a big range of rehabilitation therapies, so people can get help after surgery, illness, or if they need long-term or even short-term care, with services going all day and night. The staff, including the administrator Faith Levesque, the director of nursing Barinder Dhaliwal, and admissions coordinator Kim Colapietro, works with detailed care plans because every resident's needs are a bit different. People there get help from compassionate caregivers who take pride in making a real difference, and Taconic's known for aiming at high ratings from the federal government for inspections, staffing, and quality, which people tend to look for in these places.
The campus runs as a smoke-free zone and offers a lot of types of care, like skilled nursing, post-acute rehab, adult day health options, assisted living, respite care for temporary stays, and even memory care and palliative support if someone's dealing with dementia or a serious illness. Specialized care units are available for things like wound care, orthopedic and pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac care, chronic disease management, ventilator care, tracheostomy, dialysis, hospice, and a complex medical unit, plus music therapy and even blood transfusion services or bariatric care when needed. There are dedicated therapy and recovery rooms, spaces for living and activities, and the amenities are built to support both safety and comfort, so daily living feels a little easier.
Taconic keeps residents busy with activities calendars, volunteer programs, and a family-oriented culture where everyone seems to appreciate getting to know each other's stories-staff and residents alike. The place is backed by professionals from groups like The McGuire Group, Absolut Care, and VestraCare, and they try to stay on the front edge of new programs that help define care in the local community. Families who need help even for a short while, like a week or a month, can find respite care, and everyone's plan gets tailored to match what they need at that moment, whether it's therapy, nursing, or just a safe place to stay and recover with compassionate support.
