What this means for your family

The facility offers an excellent, non-institutional environment that many families find comforting. However, because multiple reviewers have noted that staff are often too busy to assist with small daily tasks like dressing, we recommend asking specifically about staff-to-resident ratios and how they ensure personalized attention during peak hours.

Key Review Excerpts

These cottages are a perfect example to replace the brick and mortar facilities. Its the best kept secret in elder care.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional care my mother received from Sonia! Her compassion, kindness, and professionalism shone through in every interaction.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

They are such hard workers and have so much to do they don't have the extra time for special detail of each resident, like making sure they are dressed properly in the AM assisting with clothing hooks buttons etc.

Eddy Village Green has a concerning pattern of deficiencies involving resident protection from abuse and neglect, occurring across multiple complaint-triggered investigations where families filed reports. The facility shows recurring issues with safety hazards, medication management, and fire safety systems spanning several years. While most violations appear corrected after identification, the repeated nature of abuse-related complaints and safety problems suggests ongoing oversight challenges that warrant careful consideration.
