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.

Overview of Our House Residential Care Homes

Our House Residential Care Homes provides assisted living, memory care, and residential care in Rutland, VT. Established in 2001, the community specializes in dementia care and offers a home setting with trained caregivers and support services. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while assisted living supports daily tasks and residential care provides support in a home environment.

The community may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs supervised care in a residential setting. Residents can choose a private room or shared accommodations, providing either a room of their own or a room with someone else. Personal care and bathing, medication administration, daily activities, care at the end of life, and daily exercise with range of movement work are available, covering hands on care, medication support, activity participation, comfort focused care, and guided movement.

Wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in moving through the homes. Fenced backyards and patios give residents access to outdoor space. Home cooked meals are prepared daily, with fresh desserts included as part of the dining service, and transportation is supplied for appointments so residents can get to scheduled visits without arranging their own ride.

A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those trips.

Overview of Our House Residential Care Home

Four units; that’s the entire footprint of Our House Residential Care Home, and three of those four are set aside specifically for dementia care. Wanda King has owned and run the property at 69 Allen St in Rutland, Vermont for 34 years, long enough to make this one of the more established small-scale memory care operations in the area. The building is two stories and fully wheelchair accessible.

Staffing here runs deep for a community this size. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants stay on-site around the clock, handling medication management, bathing assistance, and daily range-of-motion exercises. On-site hospice and end-of-life care are part of what’s offered too, alongside direct communication with each resident’s personal physician, a detail that matters when medical coordination needs to happen quickly. The property sits just 0.13 miles from Rutland hospital, close enough that proximity itself functions almost like a safety net.

Outside, a backyard patio gives residents somewhere to sit and get fresh air. Getting anywhere beyond the property means driving, since the Walk Score here is 16, solidly car-dependent.

This is a small, tightly-staffed memory care community built around close clinical oversight, hospice-level support, and unusually close hospital access, the kind of setup that fits families prioritizing intensive, hands-on care over a larger campus.

Overview of Barbara‘s 1840 House

Two stories, one address, and two care types under the same roof: Barbara’s 1840 House covers both memory care and assisted living at 147 Granger St in Rutland, Vermont.

Daily supervision runs around the clock here, paired with assistance for residents who need help with everyday living tasks. That combination matters for memory care specifically, where consistent oversight isn’t optional. Meals get built around each resident’s dietary needs rather than a single fixed menu, and a full activities schedule keeps the week from feeling empty.

Barbara’s 1840 House works for Rutland-area families looking for a smaller memory care and assisted living community where daily supervision and individual dietary needs are treated as standard practice, not an add-on.
