Cedar Hill Health Care

Cedar Hill Health Care sits at 49 Cedar Hill Drive in Windsor, Vermont, and serves as a skilled nursing facility with 39 beds in total where folks can find a range of health care and support services all under one roof, with unique touches like naming their care programs and amenities in ways people can remember-so along with regular skilled nursing care, there's help for folks who need rehabilitation, wound care, dialysis, or memory support in Teddy's Place, which is the dedicated dementia wing, and the Victorian House Residence right next door offers assisted living for those who need less medical care but still like some help with daily life. Staff members speak English and the place isn't taking new patients at the moment, but those living there find access to on-site doctors, dentists, podiatrists, and even mental health therapists-all of whom make house calls, plus physicians who practice internal medicine, so folks with different conditions, including people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, can stay in one place and not worry about running all over town. You get short and long-term care, a main living area with ceilings that reach up high and big windows looking out onto a terrace where they keep seasonal flowers, along with indoor and outdoor common areas, so people can visit or join in all sorts of activities, both on and offsite-there's even devotional activities for those who want them. The rooms come as private or semi-private and include wheelchair accessible showers, and folks can bring along their pets, as long as they're cats or dogs under the weight limit, so that's good for anyone who can't bear to leave a furry companion behind. There's nutritious meals each day, planned and made by the dining staff with menus to pick from, and the activities department gives people things to do, including music and aromatherapy sessions, light therapy, yoga, or just socializing in the activity rooms, and for those needing help with medication, incontinence care, or even more high-level nursing care, that's all managed onsite with staff working around the clock. Folks who need to rebuild strength after surgery, strokes, or injury can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy right here, with a gym that has heat, ultrasound, and other tools for healing, and they help people learn to dress or cook again so they're ready for daily living once they're stronger. Teddy's Place has special memory care for those with dementia, plus programs like the MUSIC & MEMORY℠ program. Social services and admissions staff help new folks settle in, and there's help with transportation, too-they have a van for local rides, sometimes complimentary and sometimes with a fee. Community members and the general public can use the short-stay rehab programs, so it's not limited just to residents, and the whole place focuses on encouragement, doing things to help people feel supported so they can keep their dignity and try to reach their own potential, no matter what stage of aging they're in. There's a virtual tour of the skilled nursing facility for those wanting to see it remotely, so families far away can get a sense of the place without visiting in person. Cedar Hill Health Care stands as part of a larger continuing care community, covering independent living, assisted living, short-stay rehab, skilled nursing, dementia care, and end-of-life care, all together, so folks usually don't have to move again when their needs change.
