My elderly neighbor was at the Eddy for the last two years of her life. It was awful. She never received any services to assist with her dementia but did not receive basic care like showering on a regular basis. I would never recommend this place to anyone I loved.

The staff at Eddy Memorial have been wonderful. They are friendly, patient, and very helpful - all while performing a job I wouldn't last 5 minutes doing. I have found my father's room to be kept clean and have been very happy with the common areas. Having experience with several facilities in the area, I would recommend EMGC for your parental nursing home care needs.

My mother no longer was able to say at an assisted living home. She was transferred to Eddy Memorial Geriatric center and was there for a month and a half before passing. The staff there was like angles and made her final days as comfortable as possible.

Nice place, rooms are nice, staff is nice, but the food is HORRIBLE. Would not feed it to a dog. Food is disgusting.
