Thompson House Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits in Windham County, Vermont, and it feels more like a home than a big institution, since it's a small place that gives folks extra care when they need it most, whether for a short or long stay. The center offers private rooms, each with its own bathroom, and there's air conditioning, housekeeping, and laundry to keep things easy and comfortable for everyone. For meals, an on-site dietary staff and a registered dietitian work together to create food that fits what people like to eat, so meals feel familiar and enjoyable. Around the facility, you'll see residents trying their hand at fishing trips, listening to concerts from the Vermont Jazz Center and Brattleboro Music Center, joining yoga, playing poker, taking art classes, going to monthly socials, even joining in tango dancing and helping out with community service projects. There are gallery exhibits and day trips too, so every week brings something new to do.
The center provides skilled nursing care twenty-four hours a day, every day, with nursing staff always there when help's needed, and the place has physical, occupational, and speech therapists using modern equipment to help folks recover and stay as active as possible. There are short-term rehabilitation options after surgery or illness, long-term residential care, as well as respite care for families who need a break from caregiving duties. Memory care, palliative care, and personalized attention are all included, and the care team tries their best to help everyone feel valued and engaged. The facility is non-profit, and it takes traditional Medicare, Vermont Medicaid, all secondary payers, and private pay arrangements, but it can't accept Medicare Advantage plans at this time. The building feels welcoming with wide common areas where people can gather and take part in daily life together. The staff work hard to give quality care, making sure people are comfortable, supported, and have a sense of belonging while they heal and live at Thompson House Rehabilitation & Nursing Center.
