Riverview Life Skills Center, located on Highlander Dr. in Jeffersonville, Vermont, serves seniors needing a safe, supportive place to live while focusing on life skills training and personal growth, and with 11 licensed beds under Vermont license #214, this community helps older adults with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and if someone has more complex health needs such as Alzheimer's or dementia, they'll find dedicated memory care and staff trained for these challenges, plus speech and occupational therapy for residents who want extra support. Around the clock, fully trained staff are always on site, providing supervision and help with everything from meals, including dietary restrictions and all-day dining, to case management, housework, and even valet services, while the center stays secure twenty-four hours a day. Residents can pick from private rooms, studios, or shared living quarters based on what suits their needs and comfort, and folks get to enjoy household chores taken care of, which means no worrying about cooking, cleaning, or home repairs anymore.
There's a chapel, a reading area, a game room, walking trails, a garden, and a café, plus gathering spaces for social times, movie nights, and a schedule packed with group activities, and the center makes sure everyone stays active and connected. Residents who need help moving around can get mobility assistance, and the staff understands care for non-ambulatory individuals, helping with transfers and bathing as needed. Riverview Life Skills Center takes pride in a simple system where residents get individual service assessments, so their care plans fit as closely as possible to what they want and need, and with a Level 3 residential care home license, it provides both assisted living and some nursing support, along with respite care, care homes, home care, independent living, memory care, and long-term services, as part of a wider range of options found in a senior living community or CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community). The center accepts Medicaid, doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by CMS, and follows all state regulations, having had 14 citations over 3 inspection visits since 2014, but with no complaints or fines from 2014 to 2019, showing some steadiness.
When it comes to work and independence, residents can take part in life skills workshops and skill-building classes, aimed at helping each person feel more confident and hopeful, and there are even dedicated resources for employment and salary guidance. With a bilingual staff who speaks English, the center tries to keep communication open and simple, and every new resident gets a map and a tour to help them settle in. There's also support for personal laundry and linen service, private dining options, emergency alert systems, scheduled meals, snacks, and maintenance-free living, so folks can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying daily life. Riverview Life Skills Center has a long-standing reputation for being well-planned and fairly priced, with a focus on promoting strength, resilience, and comfort for seniors and their families, and it's a place where people look after each other, with gentle routines, home-like features, and a bit of quiet Vermont beauty outside the door.
