Cathedral Square

412 Farrell St. Suite 100, South Burlington, VT 05403
Overview of Cathedral Square

Cathedral Square provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in South Burlington, VT. Assisted living offers help with daily tasks while a resident maintains an apartment, independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having all three care types in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. Respite care is also available for a short term stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The starting price is $6,000 per month, giving families a baseline for monthly budgeting. Cathedral Square opened in 1977, and residents can choose a studio, one bedroom apartment, or two bedroom apartment, with the larger layouts accommodating a couple moving together.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a companion animal when moving in. Wheelchair accessibility and accessible baths in assisted living support residents who use mobility devices.

Resident garden space offers an outdoor place to spend time. Exercise and cooking classes, guest lectures, outings, and social, cultural, and recreational activities provide structured ways to participate in daily life.

Transportation can help residents join outings without arranging every trip independently, and the SASH® (Support and Services at Home) program is available as a signature program. A Walk Score of 74 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Cathedral Square may be a good fit for someone who wants access to multiple care levels, including a secured memory care setting or a short term respite stay.
