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.

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.
