What this means for your family
While the facility is praised for its physical therapy and compassionate end-of-life support, there are serious concerns regarding the consistency of basic hygiene and dementia-specific care. We recommend that families conduct unannounced visits to observe the level of daily assistance provided to residents.

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Eddy Memorial has persistent issues with care planning appearing across all three surveys, along with recurring problems in fire safety systems and infection control. The facility shows ongoing challenges in developing complete resident care plans, maintaining proper fire safety equipment, and implementing infection prevention programs. One complaint was filed by a family regarding infection control issues, and while all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of care planning violations across multiple years suggests systemic concerns families should investigate during visits.
