Overview of Our House at Park Terrace

Twelve beds, split evenly between six private and six semi-private rooms: that’s the full scale of Our House at Park Terrace, a Level 3 residential care home in Rutland, Vermont’s Courthouse Historic District. Paula Patorti owns the property, and both assisted living and memory care are offered here, and its 25 years of operating history back up a community this size, long enough to have worked out its routines. A Walk Score of 86 puts the area solidly in very-walkable territory, useful for both residents and visiting family when there are errands that need to be taken care of off of the campus grounds or in town.

A theater room gives residents an indoor gathering spot, and the activities calendar leans into arts and crafts alongside wellness programming, the kind of steady, low-key engagement that fits a smaller community better than a packed events schedule would. At this scale, staff tend to know residents individually rather than managing a large, rotating population.

This is a small, well-established assisted living and memory care community built around close staff-resident relationships and a walkable Rutland location, the kind of setup that works best for families who want a quieter, more personal setting over a larger campus.

That’s a long run for a residential care home, and it speaks to some staying power in a small community.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Vermont

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Vermont?

Assisted living in Vermont supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Vermont?

Assisted living in Vermont is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Vermont Medicaid cover assisted living?

Vermont Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Vermont) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 33 assisted living facilities in Vermont. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Vermont?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Vermont, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Vermont?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
