Pennington House
Assisted Living & Memory Care · Burlington, VT
Pennington House sits in Burlington’s New North End, a single-story building with studio and one-bedroom units built around memory care and assisted living. The Walk Score here is 26, somewhat walkable, a few things are within reach on foot, but most errands still mean a drive.
Dining gets specific attention here. The kitchen offers dementia-friendly menu options, not just a general senior-living menu, prepared by a dedicated chef with residents’ actual needs in mind.
There’s a game room for residents who want that kind of social space, transportation services for getting around the local area, housekeeping support, and on-site pharmacy access, four practical pieces that add up to real day-to-day convenience. What stands out more, though, is the state-program participation. Pennington House takes part in Vermont’s Assistive Community Care Services program, Medicaid-funded personal care and homemaker help, and the Enhanced Residential Care program, which brings Medicaid-funded nursing-level care into a residential setting instead of a traditional nursing home.
That’s a meaningful detail for families navigating Medicaid eligibility, since it signals the facility is actually built to work within that system, not just accept private pay. The community also carries a specific memory and dementia care services designation.
Pennington House presents a small, Burlington-based memory care community with real structural support behind its dementia focus, both in daily programming and in how it’s set up to work with Vermont’s Medicaid system for residents who need that path.
