About Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center

+
Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center on Burdett Avenue in Troy, New York stands as one of the Capital Region's most established and respected skilled nursing communities. As a Trinity Health facility, Eddy Memorial draws on the values and clinical resources of one of the nation's largest nonprofit Catholic health systems, delivering specialized geriatric care in a setting that honors the full dignity and humanity of every resident. Burdett Avenue runs through a well-established Troy residential neighborhood, offering the feel of a genuine community — close to local parks, familiar streets, and the everyday rhythms of city life along the Hudson River. Troy's rich cultural landscape surrounds the center: the legendary Troy Waterfront Farmers Market, a vibrant Saturday institution, is a favorite destination for residents' families; the historic downtown corridor offers restaurants, coffee shops, and independent businesses; and the stunning Hudson River waterfront — increasingly active with parks and greenways — provides a beautiful backdrop for the city seniors call home. Albany Medical Center, the region's preeminent academic medical center and Level I trauma center, is accessible across the Hudson, offering residents and families confidence that specialty medical expertise is never far away. Samaritan Hospital in Troy, also part of Trinity Health, creates a seamless care continuum — residents who require acute hospitalization can return to Eddy Memorial's skilled nursing environment with clinical teams who already know their history and care needs. Eddy Memorial's clinical programs are specifically designed for the complex needs of older adults, with geriatric-focused care pathways, dementia-capable staff, and a therapeutic environment that supports both physical recovery and emotional wellbeing. Trinity Health's nationwide resources back these programs with best-practice protocols and a culture of continuous clinical improvement. Families searching for skilled nursing care in Troy and the greater Capital Region will find in Eddy Memorial Geriatric Center a community defined by experience, compassion, and the enduring commitment that has made it a local institution for generations.
