Eddy Village Green

(Formerly Eddy-Ford Nursing Home)

Eddy Village Green, formerly Eddy-Ford Nursing Home, is a 122-bed skilled nursing care center located at The Eddy's Cohoes campus. Adjacent to Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center, the residence is surrounded by scenic grounds and courtyards for residents. Originally the Mary and Alice Ford Nursing Home, it has been a member of the Cohoes community since 1975, and a proud affiliate of The Eddy network of services since 1988.

Exciting Plans for the Future!

A new Eddy Village Green is currently under construction on the Cohoes campus. Modeled after THE GREEN HOUSE®, an innovative concept that transforms traditional skilled nursing home care for seniors, this new community will offer an innovative new approach to nursing home care -- one that eliminates the conventional, institutional feel of traditional nursing facilities. The campus will feature 16 ranch-style houses -- with each house accommodating 12 residents, complete with private bedrooms and baths, for a total of 192 seniors.

Staff who care for elders in this new model are CNAs/certified nursing assistants, and are referred to as a "shahbaz" (singular) or "shahbazim" (plural). They are specially trained and encouraged to engage more in the lives of the residents, much like family members.

Eddy Village Green will be the first-of-its-kind community in the greater Capital Region and New York State to replicate THE GREEN HOUSE®. The new model has proven to improve quality of life for residents, with less depression and greater dignity, privacy, meaningful activity and relationships.

Construction of the first six ranch-style houses is underway with the first residents to move in during late fall 2008. The transition of remaining residents is expected during fall 2009 into the early part of 2010.
