Eddy Senior Living

Everyone is really nice here. We have a lot of fun.

Employees work to make it a stellar place to live. Music selections are great! Especially banjo band! [Name removed] makes programs enjoyable.

I've lived there 11 years and am so glad I came. It's been a wonderful experience.

We have been very pleased with the staff and care provided for our loved one. [Name removed] has been especially helpful and we love [name removed].

I am very comfortable living here. I have toured other facilities but found Hawthorne Ridge the best. I would recommend it highly.

My family is so pleased with the wonderful care my mom receives. Thank you for all your effort to keep my mom happy, comfortable and healthy.

Staff is pleasant core about us and serve us well.

I have lived here for more than three years, I love it, and I can explain the "difference" if you're looking for a place to live. A lot of other senior communities are really just "senior apartments" and nothing else. They're not "communities" of friends and neighbors. Here at Eddy Hawthorne Ridge, its a real community feel...tons of organized trips and activities, and really nice food is served, like in a restaurant. This is not "cafeteria style" institutional food. In fact, we have an incredible wood-burning oven out in the open, in our dining area, and they make fantastic pizza. Honestly, in all our years ordering and eating pizzas from local pizza places...this pizza beats them all. They should open up a side business and sell it!

I'm in my early/mid 70s, have lived here for three years, and would highly recommend it to others. Here in independent living, we come and go as we please and many of us have cars that we drive to see friends and family or do whatever (in my case, I volunteer a lot and still like going to the mall). Although even if we didn't have a car, they provide transportation. There's another section of the community for assisted living, and that's for people who need extra help, but over here in independent living, many of us are quite active and enjoy getting out and going places frequently!

Mom and Dad comparison shopped "a lot" before moving in here. They toured eight places, and my husband and I went on five of those tours, including the one here at Eddy Hawthorne Ridge. They asked a lot of questions and talked with a lot of residents. They've now been here seven months and couldn't be happier.. They did their homework and made a good choice.

Dad really loves the fact that he can be social whenever he wants, because there are always plenty of people he can socialize with. But at the same time, he can always have all the privacy he wants, so it's the best of both worlds. This place is so much better, by a hundred times, than a similar senior residence who was in prior to moving here. Everything here is better quality, literally everything...including the staff, who are just wonderful.

A friend of ours is 73 years old and moved in just after she turned 70. We see her frequently--she's still very active and independent, and she always says what an excellent place this is. We've actually joined her for dinner a few times and it's always excellent, as good or better than what we get at a restaurant.

My sister with dementia gets very expert care at Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center (MDRC). She is provided with a special diet. The facility is large enough for her to get sufficient exercise. She enjoys the numerous activities that are regularly offered. She also enjoys the professional staff with whom she often interacts. I highly recommend MDRC to anyone seeking excellent loving care for their love one needing such care.

Beverwyck offers a wealth of activities and interactions with people, even more than I imagined before moving here. No disappointments! It has been easy to meet people and make friends (I knew no one here). The common areas are attractive and comfortable, and have come to feel like home - an extension of my apartment, which I love. The staff are friendly and on the ball, the grounds are beautiful, and every day there is plenty to smile about. During the pandemic, it was very comforting to see other people, safely masked, and then we were quickly vaccinated when that became available. We were in this together, and it was so much better than being isolated in my former home. Great care was taken to keep us safe, healthy, and informed, and frequent little treats brightened everyone's spirits. I am very glad I decided to move to Beverwyck.

It was difficult to make the decision to place my 88 year old husband into Eddy Memory Care, but I have never regretted it for a moment. To know he is safe and being cared for by experts has been a wonderful benefit for my mental and physical state especially during this miserable period of COVID. Life for him was more enjoyable when they had live entertainment, trips and more activities, but like all of us he has adjusted. The staff provides all they can in physical care, mental stimulation, excellent nutrition, clean surroundings and loving concern. Communication with me is always prompt and I know he is well cared for. I cannot always visit him when I would like because of health department lock downs after a positive covid exposure. This too will pass. Everyone is vaccinated and staff are tested on a regular basis. I can call him or contact staff for reassurance whenever needed. I highly recommend this program!

When I began my search for independent senior living in 2010, I was a widow looking for safety, security, and socialization. I had already experienced two orthopedic surgeries (knee replacement and ankle reconstruction). I lived in a raised ranch. My neighbors had helped thru those weeks of rehabilitation, but I knew that I could no longer live in a situation with stairs. Also, it was very lonely, living alone; especially in the winter months. Add to that all the concerns of repairs, yard work, snow removal and such. I'm a very outgoing person, and I enjoy meeting people. I am also interested in everything under the sun! So I knew that I needed intellectual and social stimulation. I had visited a friend who lived Beverwyck, and I thought that it seemed like a very nice place to live. I checked out a few other places in the capital district: Hawthorne Ridge, Avila, Shaker Point but decided on Beverwyck. I have been very happy here!

The staff at Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center do a wonderful job caring for the members of their Memory Care Community. They treat my brother with dignity, respect and compassion. They look out for his personal and medical needs. They keep me informed about any issues and promptly respond to any concerns that I may have. This includes ALL staff: Housekeeping, food service (the food is great!), maintenance, Nursing, front office staff… everyone! The building and grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Knowing that my brother is there gives me peace of mind.

We've lived here in a cottage for about 9 years and have no regets about having made the move.
