I was incredibly impressed by the tour that I received today with Carolyn Crawford!The veterans home is full of professionals who are compassionate and respectful. The medical team was fantastic and well thought out to meet all needs of their Veterans. The staffing pattern is perfection and something I have not seen in over 30 years! The residents are happy and well groomed and you can see they love their home. The Activity Director; Marjorie is like no other.. the engagement and recreational activities go well beyond and Skilled nursing facility that I have ever seen.. the schedule is robust and has thoughtful variations and is resident driven. It has individual focuses, regular programming and memory care and uniquely coordinated together engagements! The outings and events you give back are amazing! Dementia training at its finest and I witnessed it! They walk with their education demonstrated by understanding dementia and embrace all of the aspects that come with memory impairment and are prepared to help residents and their families through this voyage! They show humility and energy towards a forward thinking pivotal approach as our world changes. This is an unbelievable home!! They are timeless in values with transparency and practice medical management approaches with innovation and acceleration!! 💜♥️❤️🩷

I came to the Vermont Veterans' Home from the Home Hospice Program. I was removed from the hospice list about a year ago because my health had improved greatly. I have to say that our doctors, nurses and nurse assistants are all highly qualified ready to help at any time. This is, indeed, a wonderful facility.
