Wintergreen Residential Care Home

Overview of Wintergreen Residential Care Home

Wintergreen Residential Care Home has held its spot in Brandon, Vermont for 34 years now, at 3 Union St in Rutland County. That’s a long run for a residential care home, and it speaks to some staying power in a small community. Wanda King owns and manages the place, keeping it under steady, singular oversight rather than passing through a larger corporate structure.

The neighborhood scores a 53 on Walk Score, moderately walkable. Some errands can be handled on foot here, with a mix of nearby amenities within reach, which isn’t always a given for a memory care setting tucked into a smaller Vermont town. Memory care and assisted living are both offered under one roof, so residents whose needs shift over time don’t necessarily have to relocate.

Three and a half decades in one place, in one town, under one owner. Wintergreen reads as a small, long-rooted community built around continuity rather than scale.
