Eddy Village Green is proud to recognize Shahbaz Sheron Austin who has been named one of our SPIRIT Award winners. Nominated by the family member of one of our elders, Sheron is praised as "a dedicated leader and mentor" in House 12 and "a staff member that truly cares for the elders." Recently, Sheron saved a life when she administered the Heimlich maneuver after an elder began choking at a meal. Sheron is also known to take the time to get to know the elders, treating them like family. Congratulations, Sheron!

The team here at Eddy Village Green is dedicated to caring for all our elders and will do just about anything to put a smile on their faces. (Left) Nurse Manager Christina Bellamy dresses as "Where’s Waldo?" while Nurse Educator Tami Dzembo takes a humorous depiction of a serious topic that we strive to counter here – "Fall Risk!" Get it, lol? Thank you to Christina and Tami for bringing us some Halloween fun! You are both definite TREATS! 😁❤🎃

"She's a breath of fresh air and not just a ray of sunshine, but the whole sun and rainbow that goes with it!" That's how folks at Eddy Village Green Cohoes describe Office Manager Terry Simmons. Not only is she the smiling face happily greeting you at the door, she comforts you and makes you feel reassured in times of need. She's also the first to stick her neck out to help you solve any problem or issue. Terry has been a part of The Eddy network since 2001 working first at Glen Eddy and then our IT Department before joining Eddy Village Green. She retired at the end of 2020 but loves the community so much that she remained per diem for the past 5 years pitching in for vacations, special projects, and more. "I've always loved helping others," says Terry, "and EVG has great opportunities to do that in any role!" Thanks, Terry, for being our Rock Star!

Here at Eddy Village Green, our crew works hard to provide high quality care for our elders so Executive Director Samantha Guilfoyle entered staff for a chance to win a "Cake Crash" from radio station Fly 92.3 with "Jake and Libby in the Morning." And guess what? We won! Samantha and the staff got a surprise visit from Jake and Libby on a recent morning complete with an amazing yummy cake from Dolce and Biscotti Fine Italian Bakery! Thank you, Jake and Libby, and thank you to our incredible staff for all they do for our residents every day! ❤🎂🥰

What happens when you LOVE what you do and where you worked? Well, you keep going back! Meet our 2 "snowbird" nurses here at Eddy Village Green. Nursing Scheduler Debbie Grace (center), hugs nurses Laura Branagan (l) and Jane Clemente who were longtime nurses at the former Eddy-Ford Nursing Home where EVG is located today. Laura and Jane love nursing at our Cohoes campus so much that they return from the beaches of Florida every summer to work with our elders again at Eddy Village Green! Laura & Jane, THANK YOU both for your dedication to both the nursing field and our Eddy campus in Cohoes! ❤

Eddy Village Green was proud to celebrate National CNA Week and recognize so many amazing, hardworking aides, called Shahbazim here. (Top pic, l to r) Rushel Marshall; Shanae Pounds (a CNA for 21 years who came to EVG because she says she has always wanted to work here! So glad you're here, Shanae!); and Erin Fletcher who has been a Shahbaz at EVG for a remarkable 18 years. Thank you, Erin! (Bottom pic) Melissa Zennaiter has been an aide the longest here... for more than 41 years. She actually began as a CNA on the same campus at the former Eddy-Ford Nursing Home. Incredible, Melissa! Encouraged by Melissa to apply, Irelynn Dooley came to EVG last year seeking a career in health care. She joined us in October 2024 and plans to attend nursing school in the near future while working part-time. Melanie Craft also started at Eddy-Ford and now works with Melissa, her sister! The sisters both possess close-knit family values that carry over to all the elders in House 7. THANK YOU to ALL our Shahbazim for the wonderful care you provide our elders! We truly appreciate you all! ❤
