Gazebo Senior Living-Gazebo North is a senior living community in Vermont with over 30 years of service and a long-term nursing staff that's known many of the residents for decades, so folks staying here tend to feel that family atmosphere, and you'll see that in the way the staff support residents-some people say it feels like a close-knit neighborhood where it's easy to get to know folks and have the help you need if you want it. The facility has 33 large and comfortable studio apartments, both private and semi-private, and every unit has a kitchenette, private or semi-private bathroom with a walk-in shower and safety bars, and an emergency call system, and all the utilities like heat, water, air conditioning, and cable TV are included, so nobody has to worry about those things.
Residents here can get help with many daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, laundry, and personal care, and there's always trained staff around because nurses and aides are on the property 24 hours a day. Folks who need memory care can stay in special areas set up for seniors with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and the staff have experience helping people avoid wandering and confusion, so families can feel their loved ones are safe. Couples with different care needs can live here together in special arrangements if they need it, and every resident has access to transportation for appointments, pharmacy deliveries, coordination with outside healthcare, and all the support to stay connected to medical providers.
Life here is pretty maintenance-free, because staff look after housekeeping, weekly cleaning, and running laundry, and three home-cooked meals with snacks are served every day with options to fit different diets or allergies, so everyone can enjoy the dining room or even all-day dining if they wish. Residents have plenty of options for being active and social, because there are daily exercise and entertainment activities, movie nights, an activities director, arts and crafts, worship and meditation, and both community-sponsored and resident-run events that fill out a busy calendar, and the property has shared lounges and relaxing indoor spaces for gathering together.
Outdoor areas include lush gardens, walking paths, a gazebo, sitting areas, a patio shaded by a pergola that smells like white blossoms in the summer, and a welcoming entrance with hanging flower baskets and landscaping, so there are places to sit and visit, tend a garden, walk, or just watch the seasons change. The community's pet-friendly and has a beauty salon, telephone and TV in every unit, parking and transportation options, and a focus on keeping everyone safe with 24-hour supervision and call pendants for emergencies.
