Nursing Home Communities in Barre, VT

"I had the chance to visit this nursing home a couple of years ago. I think what impressed me the most when I drove into the yard was the appearance of the grounds, from the well manicures lawn to the shrubbery and the flowers. The lobby in welcoming and makes you feel at home. There are love seats and several plush stuffed chairs, beautiful blue and green carpet. The hallways were clutter free, the floors practically gleamed. There were a few private rooms-very spacious and decorated to suit the residents. There are more semi-private rooms than private. The semi-private rooms are homey looking with the pictures on the walls, plants, colourful knit Afghans on the beds. All of the rooms have easy chairs and dressers and closets. The staff as well as the residents speak very highly of Woodridge. "

"MY 90yo father fell and had to go to rehab. We could not have chosen a better place. The care while he was there was better then we could have expected the rehab program was first rate. The place was clean staff very nice all said and done we would have to give this place very high marks. "

"Room was spacious and clean with good lighting and private feel. My auntie was given enough freedom to feel happy but she was supervised enough to keep her safe. She loved some of the nurses and aides that worked with her. The staff were respectful and professional. Everyone was very friendly. I could rest at ease knowing I could always get a hold of staff and they acted with my Auntie's best interest in mind. Especially helpful was the resident social worker who made sure that her time their was fruitful, and that her discharge was well orchestrated. The food was good. Activities included PT and games with other residents and staff. It is a beautiful location with easy access to the highway. "

"The Kirby House is a licensed Level 3 facility that averages about 30 residents, at least 70% of whom have been there over 10 years. There are even a few that have been there for 15-20+ years! They have round-the-clock nursing staff who all seem very knowledgeable and helpful. It is evident that all the staff actually WANT to be there and LOVE what they do. The residents and their illnesses, difficulties, and the way they [the residents] handle them varies greatly. This, one would expect, could be quite a difficult handful at times. But even though I saw most of the residents have a bad day from time (like anyone), the staff were able, confident, and patient with every situation that arose. I did see a couple of moderately difficult situations occur as one would expect in a house of 30 residents and a few staff to have problems of conflict, disagreements, etc., even if all of them had NO problems. But the way the residents (who treat each other like a close family) and the staff resolve and diffuse those situations is so well done that it was like a perfect & finely tuned watch. It was amazing to see just how well they all got along that I was actually moved almost to tears. With all that said, it may come as no surprise, then, that though it is a Level 3 Nursing Care & Assisted Living Facility, the staff (and residents) prefer to run it more like a Family's Home. They still certainly are more that compliant with the Rules, Laws, and Regulations set by the State of Vermont and Federal Government, but it still has a warm heart within that is easily heard and felt by all.
