Fortunately, there are programs like PACE that can help keep seniors engaged and safe, even during these unprecedented times. […]
On Monday, August 3, 2020, Eddy SeniorCare, an affiliate of St. Peter’s Health Partners (SPHP), will open its doors at a new location at 1938 Curry Road in Rotterdam. The move has been in process since November 2018 when Eddy SeniorCare announced plans to lease the space from Mallozzi’s Banquet & Ballrooms, making it the new home of its Schenectady PACE Center. PACE, or Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is a special model of care designed to help older adults with long-term health care needs continue to live safely at home and avoid nursing home placement. Eddy SeniorCare is the Capital Region’s only PACE, bringing together under one roof a wide array of medical care, home health care, therapy, transportation, day programs, and other support services. Eddy SeniorCare operates an additional PACE center in Latham. The new, larger location will allow Eddy SeniorCare to increase the number of seniors and families served, as well as expand and improve the services provided. The space features more than 2,500 square feet of handicap-accessible outdoor space, […]

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have announced a collaborative agreement with Eddy SeniorCare, part of St. Peter’s Health Partners (SPHP), that will enable the sisters to continue to receive health care at St. Joseph’s Provincial House, while allowing SPHP to bring new health care services to seniors in Albany and Rensselaer counties. As part of its long-term strategic plan, the sisters were looking for a financially sustainable path forward to care for aging members of their order who live at the St. Joseph’s Provincial House in Latham. The congregation approached Eddy SeniorCare, and the organizations reached an agreement where Eddy SeniorCare will be responsible for providing care for the sisters (who will remain at the Provincial House), and create a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program at the site for area seniors. Eddy SeniorCare operates a PACE center in Schenectady, and plans to offer the same services in space that will be renovated at the Province’s building on Watervliet-Shaker Road. Following renovations, the new PACE program is expected to open […]
