8 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Newfane, VT

I have had a wonderful experience with Langdon. My mother has been in the skilled nursing twice, and they have recently added a lot of staff which has made their communication, attentiveness, and flexibility evident. I am wary of for-profit senior care, but they genuinely care here and make every effort to treat their patients with kindness and patience. The food in the skilled nursing isn't great, but I think it's better in the assisted living.

I cannot say enough good things about Equinox Terrace. I brought my mother to Vermont from Massachusetts, and she was at another facility for 10 months. I was displeased (that is an understatement!) with the level of care she was receiving there, and it was obvious that my mother was declining because of lack of stimulation and lack of understanding, so I moved her to Equinox Terrace. Thank goodness I did! What an incredible difference--the skill level of the staff, the quality of every aspect of the place was superior. The executive director recognized my dedication to my mother, who was in hospice care, and permitted me to become a designated caregiver. I will forever be grateful for this time (six weeks before she died), for the ability to care for her, to be understood. This was of inestimable importance, and I am so very, very thankful! The dining experience was a pleasure, the residents were happy (such a change from the dull, doomed atmosphere at the other place, even though the physical building was pleasant enough); the staff was cheerful and helpful. The food was truly top notch, and my mother's vegetarian diet was accommodated. The executive director is brilliant at her job--everything hums along, she updates family members with emails (so important in this time of covid!), maintains an events schedule so residents have something to look forward to... she is capable and responsive, and ensures that the staff is likewise. She has meetings where residents can air their wishes and preferences. It is a place where people are living, not just waiting to shuffle off. I am profoundly thankful for Equinox Terrace, and I will always treasure my mother's and my last weeks together, made possible because of [name removed] and what she's done at ET. Highest, highest praise for her leadership and competence, even during these challenging times.

We recently moved my Mom into American House Keene for assisted living. We had looked at several facilities and felt this would best suit her needs. They worked with us for almost a year during the decision process and couldn’t have been more helpful. Once we selected her apartment we spent a few weeks preparing everything with her things to help make the transition as easy as possible. From the moment they met Mom everyone was welcoming, kind and professional. The staff are amazing and the residents are wonderful. While it has only been a few weeks, my family and Mom couldn’t be any happier. Delicious food, clean beautiful environment, active community and exceptional staff. Best decision we could have made.
