Assisted Living Communities in Windsor, VT

"I visited Silver Maples Residence. It's a home environment. It doesn't feel like any kind of nursing home. What I did not like about it was there was no wheelchair access to the facility. There are only stairs. You have to be able to navigate stairs to access this facility which was unacceptable to us. There was a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. It's very clean and neat."

"Brookwood is an assisted living facility located in North Springfield, Vermont. It is fairly small and houses about 18-20 residents. It is run by a small group of people, usually only 2-3 on duty at once. We have known several people that have stayed there and were treated very well. Residents are fully cared for with all meals fully prepared for them. Residents laundry is also done for them.All residents are allowed to have visitors whenever they please. When there is nothing for them to do, they have crafts and activities provided for them. I would not at all feel bad about someone close to me staying there as I know that they will be fully cared for. I rate Brookwood 4 stars out of 5 only because the building is older and a few things need to be updated, but all in all it is worth while. "

"Private pay. Physically beautiful facility-- like a fine hotel. Staff, however, is uneven, especially on weekends. We were not notified that our loved one was in end-stage and receiving morphine and all medications withdrawn because swallowing was no longer possible, even though during those five days before our loved one died, the family could have gotten together for a goodbye visit and made passing less lonely. We were given 20 minutes notice that death was immanent. Entirely, unfair, unprofessional,and unforgiveable. "

"We toured Westboro House. It went great. We were able to meet with the person who organizes and takes care of everybody. We were able to meet some of the other tenants there and see what room my dad would be in, what type of activities they facilitate there, and what types of things he could do outside as far as walking. We got a good idea, a really good vibe from the people, and a good feel from the people. It seemed like they were being taken care of very well there. It was a positive experience. The room that they showed us would have been his room and it would not have been a shared room. It would have been his solo. The people that were in there were kind enough to let us go and check it out, but the room was not empty. It was with someone else's stuff in it, but they were just in a transition time. It was still a good representation of what he'd be looking at. So, it was a good tour."

"Summercrest is a wonderful assisted living facility. The staff treat the residents with such respect and seem to genuinely care about them. My mother refers to them as her other family. The facility itself is clean and spacious and set up like a hotel. There is a beautifully lit dining room on the first floor where residents are served plated food just like at a restuarant. Summercrest is an affordable and meets the needs of my family and provides us with piece of mind, because we know my mother is in great hands. "

"The woodlands is a quite nice place tucked behind the hospital and the assisted living home. It is home to older people who still require a bit of autonomy, but appreciate a bit of help. The accommodations are nice- the apartments large enough while still being manageable. The dining room, lobby, and library are all very nice, and the food is excellent. Staff has been nothing bit friendly in all my interactions with them. Being NH, a parking garage ensures that getting snow off of cars is not something retirees need worry about. "

"The staff at Lebanon Center was very helpful and took care of my mother well. I was there while she was eating, and the food looked good. They had two dining facilities with one upstairs and one downstairs. They were nice for a nursing home and open. I would recommend them. "

"I have visited her quite often its beautiful there I kinds wish I lived there to be honest they have a full kitchen stocked all the time plus all there meals in a dinning room that looks like a resteraunt. Awesome. And they have apartments with small kitchens in them they don't have to drive they can go anywhere they want to the store or a concert. We love to go to arts and crafts. Or they have a library we go to read. They have game night we love rummy 500. She loves to play the piano or sit in front of the fire place with a book they also have a little bar there so cute she like to meet the men there.she also gets to exercise if she wants. There's also a doctor and nurses there so she doesn't have to worry about medication either. "

"We were in Wheelock. They had a memory care unit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They always were courteous. They were well trained. They helped my husband feel like he was really well cared for. They were very caring and very good. The food was very good. My husband had a bedroom and a living room. For one person, they were satisfactory. They had the regular activities, i.e., music, people coming in and giving lectures, musical concerts, etc. They had an activity room and a library. Location there was good. It didn't have a view, but it was near the hospital. "

"Kendal at Hanover has a flawless facility, excellent resident community, and more amenities than any other facility in the area. Staff at the facility are wonderful, though services have suffered between the tours that I have taken. For example, the number of meals offered to residents has been decreased. That said, residents' safety is paramount at Kendal and there are many activities available to those wishing to participate. There are shuttles available to the town of Hanover and again, the resident community is very active and caring. Residents have the option of apartments ranging from unassisted, assisted, there is a nursing wing, and an alzheimer wing. "

"I had a friend at Woodcrest Village. My friend was very happy there. From what I had seen of it, it was a very nice place. However, they had assigned seating, and my friend complained about having to eat with the same person all the time that she didn't really want to eat with all the time, and not being able to change places. They had wonderful staff. The rooms were for assisted living. They're really for people who are there and can't get out much except when they are taken out or something like that. Well, they had people come in and give talks. They had movies too. Every night they had a social hour at the bar, and I attended those once in a while, which was kind of nice. At holidays, I think they had Christmas activities. "

"I went to Vista Senior Living. I didn't get to go to the closed area where all of the residents are because I needed pre-authorization and that just didn't happen, but I did get to see the facility and talk with the staff and get a good idea of the layout, of the space, and their mission. It was really good. The tour was great. Daniel was very thorough in showing me all the different parts of the facility, very easy to talk with, understanding, and competent. I saw the rooms, not in the area where the residents are living, but in the building that (one step at a time) they're expanding out into more rooms. It was one of those rooms that is going to be built soon. There were studios, single and double rooms, and they're very bright, well kept, nice rooms. They had exercises, artistic stuff, walking, activities, games, puzzles, and stuff like that. I would like to meet more of the staff though. Before I bring my mom there, I would have to go back and see more of the working area. The man I spoke with was excellent. He just totally made me feel comfortable and easy to pursue that being a positive place for my mom. He's just a great guy. He talks very highly about the other staff. I met a couple of other people, but I have not seen the actual living space with the people who are there."
