Overview of The Residence at Quarry Hill

South Burlington’s Residence at Quarry Hill covers a lot of ground. It offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care under one roof. That range matters because it means a family doesn’t necessarily have to move a loved one to a new building if their needs change over time.

The location sits about 2.1 miles from the city center, with a Walk Score of 30. Some errands are walkable. Plan on a car for regular trips out.

Physical therapy and occupational therapy happen on site, so residents working through an injury or a chronic condition don’t have to coordinate outside appointments just to get care. For residents who need memory support, dementia and memory care services are part of what’s offered, not an add-on.

Money matters, and Quarry Hill has two Vermont programs working in its favor. ACCS is Medicaid-funded and covers personal care and homemaker help. ERC is also Medicaid-funded, and it functions as a nursing-level care option for people who’d otherwise be looking at a nursing home.

Outside, there’s a fitness center, vegetable and herb gardens, an outdoor pool with a separate lap pool, and tennis courts. That’s a fairly active outdoor footprint for a senior living community, and it points to a resident population that’s expected to stay engaged physically, not just socially. Respite care rounds things out, giving families a short-term option when a regular caregiver needs a break.

Residence at Quarry Hill is a community built for flexibility: multiple care levels, active outdoor amenities, and two distinct funding pathways through the state.

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?

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.
