Elderwood at Burlington

Elderwood at Burlington offers several types of care for older adults, whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, or rehabilitation after a hospital stay, and folks can also get help with daily activities, housekeeping, and laundry, all in a home-like setting with private and companion rooms, landscaped grounds, and views of the mountains, where there are activity programs like fitness classes and educational talks that help people stay involved and connected. There are adult day services, hospice and palliative care, oncology, outpatient, and respiratory therapy, as well as a unique program called Right Moves, and subacute rehab for short-term recovery with two large gyms full of equipment, and adults who need long-term help can count on nursing staff for things like medication, patient repositioning, primary care, and internal medicine, plus help managing oxygen needs through a respiratory therapist. Memory care services give support for people with dementia, while respite care lets families take a break, and the adult home and skilled nursing sections provide care for very frail residents who are dependent on nursing or need help moving from hospital to home. People find comfort in common areas, a courtyard garden, and meals served daily, but Elderwood at Burlington has a history of 78 documented deficiencies in inspections, including issues with infection control and resident rights, so it's important for families to check those reports, especially since it's a Special Focus Facility Candidate, but not formally flagged; nurse staffing runs a little below the state average at four hours per resident daily, with Warren Cole, Philip Quillard, and Jeffrey Rubin controlling the company since 2018, and the ownership divides evenly between Cole and Rubin. The facility has 150 certified beds, though the average daily number of residents is about 112, so with all of the amenities and programs, it suits people looking for various levels of elder care, but families might want to pay attention to those quality concerns when making decisions.
