Maple Village sits right in Rutland, Vermont, at 72 Pine Street, and has served folks since 1985 with a cozy, home-like setting where people can live independently or with some help, and you'll see the three-story building where residents age 62 and up, or 18 and over with mobility needs, can settle into studio or one-bedroom apartments that are private or semi-private, so you can choose what suits you best, with four of those units built to be fully handicap accessible and the whole place serviced by a main elevator for easy access. You'll find Maple Village managed by Susan DiMickele and under the National Church Residences network, with an on-site property manager and service coordinator who help residents plan care, handle daily questions, and just make sure folks feel supported; there's a SASH wellness nurse program for regular health check-ins and a nurse available in-house, alongside skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, home care, hospice, and respite care options, plus support for Activities of Daily Living.
Rent works off income-based rates for the 35 units, so what people pay depends on their income, making it an affordable pick, and 31 units are age-restricted but do accept younger adults with certain disabilities. People who want to bring a small pet can do that, since Maple Village welcomes them. There's a community game room and coin-operated laundry right in the building, and shared spaces where you'll see neighbors socializing. You'll also notice handicap-accessible transportation for residents who need it, and an emergency call system throughout the building for peace of mind. The calendar's packed with structured activities, games, and group events, so people don't have to feel isolated, and the staff tries their best to give folks choices that keep life active while still being safe and supported, offering flexible care that's customized as people's needs change. You'll also see services like monthly food drops, advice and planning help for future changes in care, and options around payment and floor plans if you reach out to them.
The community focuses on fostering happiness and well-being, aiming to keep people comfortable with ample amenities and friendly, trained staff who can be met during tours of Maple Village. The property has Section 8 Project Based Assistance and units funded for the elderly under Section 202 and PBRA, yet there are no units specifically set aside for permanent supportive housing for the formerly homeless. Maple Village offers continuing care, so if someone moves in wanting independence but later needs more help, staff will work with residents and families to build a care plan that fits-whether that's for daily living assistance, mobility support, or even arranging in-home health services. The community's game room, laundry, elevator, support services, and a property manager always on-site help make the place feel steady and safe, but it's really the everyday routines and flexibility around each person's needs that help folks stay active, healthy, and connected as they age.
