Lenny Burke's Farm sits out in Rutland County, Vermont, and is a Level 3 Residential Care Home licensed for just five residents, which makes everything feel more personal and settled for folks looking for somewhere quieter. The place has assisted living and memory care, so if someone needs help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, or moving around, there's staff on hand all day and night, and the staff even handles more complex care issues like diabetes, Parkinson's, and dementia, along with monthly physician checkups and extra speech therapy or continence help if someone needs that sort of thing. The rooms come in lots of different arrangements-there are studio and one-bedroom units, some semi-private spaces, even efficiency suites, two-bedroom setups, and full kitchens and seating areas, so there's a bit of choice depending on what suits a person, and every apartment is fully equipped, with plenty of closets, phones, and safe designs for people who need that. Meals get cooked fresh by a chef three times a day, and there's a big community dining hall where people can sit together, while snacks and drinks are always close by. You'll find extras like a swimming pool, a hair salon, movie nights in the theatre room, a library, a laundry facility, cards and board games, and the grounds outside have decks, garden paths, pet-friendly areas, and a few walking trails, which help folks keep active or just enjoy being outdoors.
Along with the living space, what stands out is how the staff takes care of all the chores and daily needs-housekeeping, laundry, deep cleaning, transportation for errands or doctor visits, and even escorting people around inside, plus there's move-in help, so there's really very little one has to worry about. Residents can take part in social events, gardening, reading, and wellness programs, which makes for a friendly, active atmosphere, and there's regular family support meetings so nobody loses touch. Management coordinates with doctors and outside services, making sure people get the right medication and therapy, and pharmacy services are all handled for safety, with help for folks who find medication tricky. There's a lot of attention to safety with emergency alert systems, mobility help, wheelchair access, and all units are designed for easy, safe movement if someone has trouble getting around.
Lenny Burke's Farm also has a unique lab discovery program with a platform for lab tracking, segmentation by type and certification, lab contacts, and custom exports, which lets staff find and pick labs with certain credentials, for things like medical services or tests, and that's pretty unusual for a small care home, though it might not matter as much for some residents who spend most days relaxing or visiting with friends. The place doesn't take Medicare unless certified by CMS, but it covers long-term care for seniors and provides full peace of mind for families, focusing on keeping folks as independent as they want while helping as needed. There's a small number of residents, so staff have more time for each person, and Lenny Burke's Farm balances the right amount of help, activities, safety, and comfort in a way that feels steady and honest, without being overwhelming.
