Homestead Senior Living stands in Swanton, Vermont, on 64 Harbor View Drive, and offers several living options for older adults, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term stays, and is part of Meridian Senior Living, which means residents can benefit from award-winning programs like Revolution In Motion™, Eldergrow™, and Montessori Moments in Time™ for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. The community has a family-like atmosphere, dedicated staff, and tries to create strong bonds between residents, their families, and even younger generations, and you'll see that in the way staff support resident-led activities and encourage friendships. The grounds are pretty and peaceful with walking paths, garden spaces, raised beds, a gazebo, and scenic views of the lake and mountains that are good for strolls or sitting outside. Inside, the community has cozy living rooms, a three-season porch, a gallery, a theater room with movie seating, common areas for relaxing or socializing, and libraries with lots of natural light, so people have plenty of places to gather or find some quiet.
Apartments at Homestead Senior Living offer studio and one-bedroom options, many with private kitchenettes, high or vaulted ceilings, views of the lake or mountains, dishwashers, microwaves, fireplaces, WiFi, and smoke-free spaces, and the building has an elevator and laundry rooms for easy living. Meals are provided, and the dining room serves food prepared with healthy ingredients, and families can share guest meals, and residents can have meals in their rooms if they want. There's a part-time wellness nurse, full-time SASH coordinator, and access to services like visiting nurses, podiatrists, therapists, and dentists, with the staff able to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and personal care, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Staff provide support and friendship, focusing on keeping residents comfortable and as independent as possible, and people can keep pets since the place is pet-friendly and includes an on-site dog park.
Programs and activities focus on whole-body wellness, offering scheduled events, outings, fitness classes, social gatherings, religious services, including Catholic options, and transportation for doctor appointments or shopping. The community has spaces for hobbies, relaxing, and meeting new friends, tries to support social engagement, and provides home care services for those who want to remain at home a little longer. Staff take care of the cooking, cleaning, linen service, and maintenance, so people have more free time to enjoy life and take part in activities. Residents live in a place that looks after their health and happiness, offers medical resources, organizes fun programs, and allows them to enjoy beautiful Vermont surroundings without worrying about home upkeep.
