Eddy Heritage House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 2920 Tibbits Ave in Troy, NY, surrounded by the Hudson Valley's panoramic views and fresh air, and for years it's served people from Cohoes and the greater Rensselaer County area with a warm and steady hand. This facility is part of Northeast Health and supported by St. Peter's Health Partners, connecting it to a hospital-affiliated team and a network that serves over 175,000 people each year. The experienced medical staff have deep roots in geriatric medicine, and many have decades of service here, always trying to bring peace of mind and dignity to the people who stay here, whether that's for a short stint or long term.
The center offers many care choices, starting with around-the-clock skilled nursing and adding in both long-term and short-term care, including sub-acute rehabilitation. The therapies here-physical, occupational, and speech-run up to five days a week, which gives those recovering from stroke or surgery a good shot at bouncing back quicker. The rehab wing includes a 40-bed program with focused support, especially for those needing intense therapy after joint replacements or similar setbacks.
For comfort and liveability, the place puts a lot of care into the surroundings and daily life. Spacious courtyards let folks get fresh air or enjoy a bit of sun, and the large front porch and garden areas are nice for family visits or quiet moments. Residents enjoy pleasant lounges for games and conversation, plus a fun 1950s-themed diner open to visitors and staff. Meal times on the resident floor happen in a warm, home-like dining room, keeping everyone together. For a change of pace, the activities department organizes leaf-peeping rides, Turkey Trots, local shopping outings, and live entertainment, which help to keep things lively and engaging even on quieter days.
The center stays clean and tidy to a high standard and offers comforts like Internet, cable television, and telephones in the rooms. Extras such as dental, optometry, podiatry, and beauty or barber services are available, as are religious services and personal laundry. Hospice care and respite care, which gives families a needed break, show their commitment to the challenges families sometimes face. Memory care, independent living, and assisted living services show a broad approach, backed by the holistic view that guides their support and wellness programs.
The medical team works closely with each family on care planning, with clear lines of communication and doctors present on-site and specialists on call. Select locations, sharing leadership and philosophy with Eddy Heritage House, provide specialized treatments like peritoneal dialysis and total parenteral nutrition for those who need advanced care, making transitions between care types easier. Staff such as Administrator Clara Tryon, Medical Director Michael K Burke, M.D., and executive directors Sherri Mier, RN, and Sandra Sullivan-Smith, LMSW, CNHA, help keep the daily rhythm steady. The site carries certification and licensing from the New York State Department of Health, and the team follows a not-for-profit model.
All in all, daily life at Eddy Heritage House brings together attentive care, family involvement, and a welcoming, steady environment that values residents' comfort and individuality.
