Eddy Senior Living

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.

The Glen is an outstanding community that has its own very special culture. The management team and employees are knowledgeable, competent, helpful and friendly. They are incredibly accommodating to each resident’s needs. The work they do gives us a safe, clean, and well-maintained place in which to live. The residents are very welcoming to new people and that comradery and caring makes each day special. The daily activities keep the mind active as well as the body. So glad my wife and I decided to come here. The new Memory Care building, the new larger apartments, and new exercise room and pool will make the facility even better.

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.
