Eddy Nursing Homes

What Is a Nursing Home?

Nursing homes are inpatient facilities that offer skilled nursing care, including rehabilitative therapies and medical treatments.

• Subacute skilled nursing provides short-term assistance to people recovering from severe illness, injury or surgery.
• Long-term care services provide ongoing assistance to people who are no longer capable of living independently.

Eddy Nursing Homes and Skilled Nursing: Why Choose Us?

Our nursing homes provide around-the-clock skilled nursing care in a warm, friendly environment. Some locations also offer advanced nutrition support and private, home-like settings. Our experienced, attentive staff is dedicated to promoting wellness and helping patients feel cared for.

Our nursing homes are not-for-profit and licensed by the New York State Department of Health. We have a reputation throughout the Capital Region for delivering personalized care that maximizes each patient’s abilities. Because we are a member of the St. Peter’s Health Partners system, patients benefit from seamless care transitions and access to medical specialists whenever necessary.

Subacute Skilled Nursing

Subacute skilled nursing, also known as short-term rehab, supports each patient’s recovery. Services include continuing medical care and rehabilitative therapies, such as speech, occupational and physical therapy. We offer short-term rehab at Eddy Heritage House in Troy, Our Lady of Mercy in Guilderland, St. Peter’s Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Albany, and Schuyler Ridge in Clifton Park.

At Eddy nursing home facilities, you receive an exceptional level of care that includes:

• Easy access to doctors: Our physicians are always available to provide medical expertise and guidance, and they are frequently on-site to see and visit residents. We also communicate regularly with St. Peter’s Health Partners specialists, making it easier to coordinate services for urgent needs.
• Hands-on approach: Patients receive therapies up to five days a week, which is more than what’s typically available. Receiving more therapy can help speed recovery.
• Specialized services: Some locations offer advanced treatments, including peritoneal dialysis for advanced kidney disease. Select locations also deliver total parenteral nutrition in people who cannot take food by mouth.

You or your loved one may benefit from subacute services if you are recovering from:

• Bone fracture
• Heart attack
• Joint replacement surgery
• Major surgery
• Stroke 

Long-Term Care

Long-term care provides a safe, comfortable environment to individuals who need a helping hand. Many patients are older adults or have advanced neurologic disease, including dementia.

We help your loved one live a good quality of life with offerings that include:

• Care consistency: Some of our nurses have been taking care of Eddy long-term care patients for decades. Their passion for treating nursing home patients create a unique patient experience.
• Memory units: Select Eddy locations have Alzheimer’s and dementia units. Specially trained nurses work with therapists to tailor services to the needs of people with memory loss.
• Innovative Living Concepts: Among the options we offer are home-like environments where residents live in small, single story ranch-style houses with other seniors, where they enjoy meals together seated around a large family-style dining room table.
