On-site X-ray and lab services aren’t things every nursing home offers, but Green Mountain Nursing & Rehabilitation has both, alongside respiratory therapist consultations, built into its clinical footprint at 475 Ethan Allen Avenue in Colchester’s Chittenden County. That level of on-site clinical capability matters for residents who’d otherwise need transport to an outside facility for routine testing.
Nursing coverage spans registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, the standard tiers, but backed by that added clinical depth. A dedicated Alzheimer’s and dementia unit handles memory care specifically, distinct from the broader assisted living services offered alongside it.
Getting around outside the building takes a car. Walk Score sits at 26, somewhat walkable at best, so most errands mean driving.
Financially, this is a facility with real program specificity rather than a vague “we accept Medicaid” line. Two Vermont programs apply directly: ACCS, covering personal care and homemaker services, and ERC, covering nursing-level care as a genuine alternative to full nursing home placement. Rehabilitation, respite care, and short-term rehab round out the service list, backed by round-the-clock staffing.
Life beyond direct care includes beautician and barber services, pet visits, a courtyard, and free parking, modest but real touches.
Green Mountain Nursing & Rehabilitation offers clinical depth most residential facilities don’t match, paired with dedicated memory care and genuine Medicaid program access, in a car-dependent stretch of Colchester, Vermont.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 36m per day | ▼ 27% State avg: 49m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 44m per day | ▲ 96% State avg: 53m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 7m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 2h 35m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 44m per day | ▲ 29% State avg: 3h 41m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 8m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 15m per day | ▼ 53% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
