Roadhouse

Roadhouse is a small senior living community located at 5 Giudici St in Barre, Vermont, with room for up to three residents, and it fits the residential care home Level 3 designation, which means seniors who live here get personal help with things like showering, getting dressed, medication management, and even feeding by spoon if someone needs that, and folks with Parkinson's disease or memory issues, like Alzheimer's, can live here because the staff is specially trained and always available on call, plus there's a nurse that's on call day and night for any medical needs that pop up, which gives people and their families peace of mind while letting residents keep some independence. Roadhouse has private or semi-private rooms, studios, safe apartments, non-slip floors, telephones, and furnished living spaces, while maintenance staff fix all fixtures and appliances so no one has to worry about things breaking, and housekeeping, laundry, and cleaning are covered too, which lets residents focus on their lives and not chores, and folks can eat together in a big dining hall or in the comfort of their own rooms, with all-day dining, special diets for allergies or diabetes, and staff who prepare meals for everyone so no one needs to cook unless they want to. The grounds are simple and safe with outdoor porches, beautifully manicured walking paths and gardens that give people a chance to get outside or visit with families, plus there are birthday parties, holiday gatherings, off-site trips, movie nights, and arts and crafts, so nobody's left without something to do if they want company, and the place has a reading room, games and entertainment area, exercise room, and a beauty shop on-site. Staff offer support that adjusts as needs change, with help for non-ambulatory folks, scheduled health checks, and preventive services like diabetes management and monthly nurse check-ups. There are no fines, no substantiated complaints, and only two citations since 2014, with regular inspections about every two years, and extra visits if there are any incidents, so people know the place is watched and kept up to standards, and since it's only got three units, Roadhouse keeps a homelike feel where staff get to know every resident and try to make sure daily life feels comfortable and respectful, with privacy and safety a focus in all living areas. The community offers respite care for short-term stays, move-in help, and transportation when someone needs to get out and about, and there's parking for those who drive and an emergency alert system for everyone's safety, while staff encourage social interaction in common areas, help people maintain routine if they want it, and are always around to answer questions, help with medication, or lend a hand with health habits and dressing, which suits people who want some independence but also want support nearby.
