Eddy Senior Living

Well organized,, clean, safe, wonderful staff ,friendly residents, like one family.

This past Spring, in an annual survey Beverwyck conducts of its residents, we were asked what was most important to us in our experience here. My answer, built on months that have fast become four years, came quickly: “Maintaining my independence while, at the same time, enjoying the comforts and satisfaction that come from a sense of belonging!” Indeed, living independently in a community environment has given me the best of both worlds. I’m able to live my life as I wish and, with Beverwyck as my anchor, take comfort in knowing I can do so safely and securely. That’s a big deal at this stage in my life! Home to a diversity of peoples with an array of talents, abilities, interests and backgrounds, Beverwyck offers an unparalleled independent living experience. A wide range of services and activities is available. For all its offerings, I believe the defining hallmarks of the Beverwyck experience are its staff and its residents - they are the best, every one of them, everyday!

I have been here for four months. I love my apartment, have made many new friends and have no complaints! The facilities are well-kept, staffed adequately and the grounds are beautiful. I was pleased to find the community welcoming but not overwhelming. You can socialize as much or as little you feel like doing! It is so nice not to have to cook or clean!

I moved to the Glen when I was able to do all the work and make decisions for myself – selling my home, downsizing, packing, and organizing my belongings. I am also able to benefit from any activities here at the Glen as well as my regular activities outside the Glen. The Glen is an independent living – a new apartment with many added benefits. I appreciate not cooking very often and being able to share meals with others. Exercise classes, concerts, and other activities (serious and fun) are all things to take part in as you wish. The staff (administration, waitress, maintenance, housekeeping) is wonderful and go out of their way to help in any way. Even with obstacles such as Covid – the Glen was a safe if not safer place to be. Although activities were limited in size they were not eliminated. Why wait – this is a place for active independent seniors!

My experience in living at The Glen has been very positive, and I so appreciate the caring staff and opportunities we have here. There are numerous activities and assistance with many things available and the chance to be involved as much or little as you choose.

I have been a Resident of Beechwood for over six years, but at this time of pandemic and destructive weather events I especially appreciate the "peace of mind" it allows me. Not having to worry about handling details of a healthy and safe environment is a blessing.

We moved into Beverwyck in January 2021 after living in the Capital District for more than 40 years. We decided we no longer wanted to maintain a big house and yard. As we looked at our options, we decided this would be our best choice. We have not regretted this decision. We have greatly enjoyed the activities, dining options, beautiful grounds, and friendly residents and staff.

As a resident of Beverwyck for the last seven years , my over all experience has been a most satisfactory one. Having decided that my home and garden was too much for me to care for, the decision to move here was an easy one because many people I knew already lived here. The staff at Beverwyck could not be kinder or more helpful. I appreciate that when there is a problem they are ready to help me solve it. I enjoy all of the activities here such as water aerobics and exercise class. I have friends who love to play bridge and I have taken on the responsibility of organizing a Saturday bridge group , I’ve made many new friends and renewed many friendships.. Dinner in the dining room has been a place to meet people. I really love my apartment. When I moved here they dug a garden for me and I brought many plants from home with me. Since gardening was a big part of my life before my move it is great that I did not have to forgo that pleasure.

Beverwyck is my home........warm and welcoming. New friends as well as long time friends keep life interesting and lively. Staff are cheerful, accommodating and talented. They work hard and are appreciated. Lots of fitness programs keep us moving and having fun. From water aerobics to hiking, to shuffle board and bridge there's lots to choose from. And if you prefer quiet times we have a good library. It's lovely to have delicious meals prepared and served----- no cleanup required. And yes, music programs as well as transportation to medical appointments are offered. Both physical therapy and occupational therapy are excellent and available on site. You'll find yourself comfortable and happy here. Loo

One of my motivations to consider Beverwyck was the fact that I already new so many people here who were extremely satisfiied with their decision to move in. Once here I began to experience all that Beverwyck has to offer, including the wellness program which keeps me physically fir, day trips on the bus to various venues, classical music programs and local entertainment. I am very glad I made the move.

We had been caring for mom and dad for a couple of years when dad passed. Mom could not be left alone. I toured MDRC on a whim and was very impressed and subsequently went back with my siblings to see if they agreed. It was a tough but unanimous decision, especially when her move in day was also the day of the shut down due to the pandemic! A year and a half later, I still have guilt, not one ounce of regret! Mom is very content and well cared for. The staff, from maintenance through administration, has been pleasant, attentive, responsive, caring and supportive every step of the way, every day! I know that mom’s needs will be met with tenderness regardless of her status or mood on any given day. The unselfish comfort, safety and care they provide to mom and the rest of us has given me peace of mind during these difficult times. So grateful to have the MDRC as part of our family!

Beverwyck has lived up to our expectations based on investigating a dozen alternatives. Our residency here for the last 15 months confirmed the friendly atmosphere & geniality we desired. Structured activities were manifest, professionally led with numerous other opportunities led by residents, among them some of our new friends. The staff anticipates the needs of a varied demographic with responsiveness & a profound ability to listen. Resident input to all phases of life at Beverwyck is evident. Care services, due to the ties to a major medical facility are what are expected, outstanding in content, accessible, & subtly in the background until needed. Of note is the cuisine, researched for health benefits, professionally selected & prepared & well served. The wait staff is younger which brings a vibrancy to mealtime. We can’t say enough about the attitude & perspective of the staff, of their ability to bring young & experienced minds & and bodies together into a cohesive population.

Over 3 years ago my family conducted a thorough search of Capital District memory care assisted living residences for our 90+ year old Mom. Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center (MDRC) was head-and-shoulders above all others. Mom has been happy, comfortable and safe there ever since. The MDRC team is uniquely skilled at patiently assisting my Mom with all aspects of daily living as independently as possible. The professionalism and genuine warmth of every MDRC team member has always impressed us. MDRC looks and feels like a cozy, comfortable home. They have a bountiful array of entertainment options and social activities. For most day-to-day health care needs those providers come to MDRC. During these troubling pandemic times since early 2020 the MDRC team has done an outstanding job of keeping covid outside looking in. Their proactive stance and highly protective covid prevention protocols have ensured Mom is today healthy and safe. Best of all, our Mom enjoys living at MDRC.

Having witnessed elderly neighbors living in their homes well past the time when they could cope with them, my wife and I moved to Beechwood while we were still healthy. We found a friendly community that allowed us to be as active and independent as we wanted to be while eliminating the chores of home ownership and having available the services we needed as we aged. Having access to other services on the same campus was particularly useful as my wife’s health failed and she needed nursing home care. The staff is excellent and worked hard to maintain a sense of community and activity in spite of the pandemic-necessitated limitations on what we could do. My experience here has been all I could expect and I am very happy that we made the move to Beechwood.

My husband and I have been living at Beverwyck for six years, 11 months in a small apartment and after in a large Cottage. We are very happy in our home and gardens and have particularly appreciated meeting many fascinating and enjoyable people with whom we have interesting conversations and have developed warm friendships with some. We enjoy the food and the opportunity to join others for lunch and dinner.I have been active in exercise programs, poetry group, and we have both served on the Scholarship Committee. The staff are very friendly and supportive. Beverwyck is continually beautified with seasonal flowers and lovely trees and shrubs, and we are happy to be in such a lovely and large area, which allows for pleasant walking on the grounds. In addition, we are near a lovely small shopping center and wonderful places for hikes and paddling. All in all, Beverwyck is a special place for us and others, being not only safe but providing ways to keep ourselves healthy and active.

I moved to the Glen Eddy in mid-July 2021. From the beginning, I have felt welcomed by both residents and staff. My apartment is just the right size for me. The dining room is a great place to meet and socialize with other residents. There are a lot of exercise options, a variety of activities, and interesting presentations. There are also opportunities "off-campus" including a recent trip to the Edith Wharton home in Lenox, MA, to which we traveled by a Glen Eddy bus. The residents are friendly and welcoming to new (and other) residents. The staff is helpful and responsive, eager to make this place my home.

I continue to be pleased with the level of care and quality of life that my 91-year old mother has experienced at The Terrace for the last three years and the 15 years prior to that at Glen Eddy. There are many activities to keep residents physically and mentally engaged and all the residents I have seen are very friendly.

The staff goes the extra mile to help the seniors. Wide variety activities. There is something for everyone to do.

Beechwood is the only urban senior living community - right in the City of Troy. Proximate to the thriving culture of downtown - with unique shopping, Farmers’ Market, restaurants, arts center, Troy Public Library, Troy Music Hall, Russell Sage College and RPI. In addition to Beechwood-supplied transportation to appointments, there are two city bus stops for access to all Troy has to offer. The Eddy Memorial campus offers easy walking and enjoyment of lovely gardens - from shade gardens to flower terraces. During the Covid period, staff kept us virus-free, by following enhanced sanitizing protocols, ensuring that we were informed concerning risk management, and organizing an on-site clinic for Covid vaccinations. Moving to Beechwood was the best decision we could make. We have independence, congenial neighbors, access to so much in Troy & the surrounding Capital region. Yet we are free from property maintenance. We have freedom to pursue travel and other interests in retirement.

We chose Eddy Hawthorne Ridge because we felt like it was a community minded facility that really focused on the residents. The room sizes are very nice and spacious. The intake person was very good with us, she was helpful and great at letting us know what to expect. I would recommend them to others looking.
