Overview of Birchwood Terrace Rehab and Healthcare

Burlington’s New North End is home to Birchwood Terrace Rehab and Healthcare, a 160-bed nursing home that also provides hospice care, memory care, and respite care. The Walk Score sits at 36, so residents’ families might reach a nearby pharmacy or coffee shop on foot, but most errands mean driving.

132 people call the facility’s 160 beds home. Ninety one days is the averagelength of stay. On the staffing side, residents get roughly four hours of total nursing care per day, split across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides, plus a smaller daily allotment specifically from registered nursing staff.

Two resident-led groups operate here: an Active Resident Council and a Residents Group, both of which meet regularly to weigh in on facility policy, care quality, and the daily rhythm of activities. There’s also something a little less common: a state-approved Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program that runs on-site.

Coverage-wise, Birchwood Terrace takes Medicare and private pay, so families have more than one route to financing care. When state inspectors visit facilities like this one, their attention tends to land on the operational basics: medication handling, infection control, staffing credentials, food service, environmental safety, and resident rights, rather than clinical care decisions themselves.

Birchwood Terrace Rehab is a 160-bed nursing home running hospice, memory care, and respite services in parallel, with resident councils built into its structure, organized around a wide range of needs.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Vermont Medicaid cover memory care?

Vermont Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 30 memory care communities in Vermont. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
