The Residence at Shelburne Bay
4.8 / 5.0

Such an incredible experience with these folks. Sarah was particularly helpful - answered our questions thoroughly, made my mom truly feel like a VIP, so welcoming and inviting. We felt like we were truly part of the family!

Champlain Valley Senior Community in Willsboro, NY
4.4 / 5.0

Everyone who’s employed here knows each patient and where they are at any time we arrive for a visit. My sister has been more social here than at any place for the last few years. I feel her care is excellent.

Harbor Village in South Burlington, VT
3.6 / 5.0

Still waiting on current things to get fixed. Overall, I love Harbor Village. Lunch should be heavy meal and dinner should be a light meal.
