Our House At Park Terrace is a residential care home for seniors in Rutland, Vermont, located at 48 S Main St. The building has two stories and is fully handicap accessible with grab bars in bathrooms, full apartment security, and both private and semi-private room options-six of each, making up a total of twelve beds. The place is recognized for the helpfulness and kindness of its staff, who work hard to create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone there, and they stay on site 24 hours a day with a registered nurse available both on-site and on call. The state licenses this care home as a Level 3 facility for up to twelve residents, who can choose smart apartment layouts with telephones and furnishings. Nurses conduct health assessments to make sure every resident's needs get met, and staff help with dressing, bathing, transfers, and medication management.
There's a strong focus on activities that help residents stay social and active, including arts and crafts, games, fitness classes, movie nights in the community theater room, and community-sponsored gatherings. Seniors who have Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or other dementia get tailored care and memory support to limit confusion and wandering, with care plans adjusted as needs change. Home-cooked, chef-prepared meals are served daily and include options for special diets, allergies, or diabetes, with nutrition as a focus to help keep residents healthy. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are provided, and the housekeeping staff handles home upkeep too, so seniors can enjoy common areas like the dining hall, gardens, library, and walking paths, along with scheduled transportation and parking.
Family involvement is encouraged, and management is always available to answer questions. The place offers a range of care including assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing, residential care home services, and coordination with hospice and home health as needed. There are rehabilitation services, massage therapy, and even pet-friendly rules to help keep the environment comfortable. Residents' safety is a priority, with emergency alert systems and tailored care plans reviewed by licensed nurses. The facility has had some challenges, with 22 citations since 2014 during four inspections, including issues with food safety, sanitation, medication management, emergency preparedness, and residents' rights. Despite this, the staff strive to provide a friendly, community-oriented setting for up to twelve residents. They don't publish pricing or have any public reviews right now, but the focus is on personalized care and helping seniors feel at home.
