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.
