Brookdale Eddy Pond East

Over the past few years, as my mother’s health started to decline, the tough decision was made to move her from the familiarity of her home to a safer environment. After receiving recommendations from friends whose family members had been at Eddy Pond, we decided that this would be the best place her. Not only was this move to Eddy Pond in the best interest of my mother's physical health and overall well-being, it also brought me peace of mind that she was in the hands of a skilled and supportive team of professionals. Living out of state made it challenging to be actively involved in her care. The staff at Eddy Pond kept me updated and included me in decision-making when necessary. My mother's safety and care were my top priorities, and I am grateful for the attentive care she has received. Furthermore, the social activities at Eddy Pond are tailored to her abilities, the facility is well-maintained, and the staff and administration is accommodating and friendly.

The staff at Brookdale at Eddy Pond have been fantastic. They care for my Mom like a friend. They guided me and helped me get my mother the best help possible. Thank you!

My brother has been at the facility for the past two years. He has received such good care from the beginning. I don’t feel he could be in a better place

The time came at 95 yrs old when doctors determined my mother could not live alone any longer. She needed assisted living. I am so happy we found Brookdale Eddy Pond West. The care and attention she receives is extraordinary. In the past my mother always kept to herself living at home. During her first month at Eddy Pond West she was playing bingo with other residents. She was out listening and singing along to live entertainment. The staff paints her fingernails for her. She has made friends with residents and staff. She no longer just sits all alone at home. This is the best decision we have made for her. She is happy again. I want to thank all the staff for making her feel at home in a new situation.

I can’t say enough good things about Brookdale Eddy Pond East! My mother came to Eddy Pond East when she could no longer live independently. While the transition for her was difficult as she was so used to being self-sufficient, the staff was wonderful in helping ease that transition. They treated her with respect and compassion, and she came to love it there. The facilities are nice (this is the new building), the grounds are beautiful, and the food is fantastic. The administration is kind, friendly and efficient, and the activities are varied and wonderful. A few months after moving in, my mother became ill and we took her to the hospital, where we got the devastating news that she was failing and had to go into hospice. Eddy Pond East welcomed her back from the hospital with open arms and no hesitation and allowed her to take hospice there. The nurses were exemplary in taking care of her, and in her final week everyone (nurses, staff, housekeeping and even the kitchen staff) took turns checking up and visiting her. Their motto is “no one goes alone”, and special thanks to Gail, who was the one who held her hand as she crossed over. We are ever so grateful to everyone, especially Gail and Sue, for taking such wonderful care of her and helping her feel loved and safe, especially as she transitioned over that last week. When and if my husband and I need assisted living, we will definitely choose Eddy Pond East!
