A Community Within a Community
With close ties to the communities in which we reside, Eddy Senior Living regularly invites local civic groups and organizations to hold meetings and events at various retirement communities throughout the Capital Region. This unique partnership allows us to provide our residents with access to a wide variety of events and services, all within the communities they call “home”.
From clubs and support groups, to voting booths and religious services, discover the community events and services that are available on each of our campuses.
