Derby Green Nursing Home sits in Derby, Vermont, and offers skilled nursing care for up to 23 residents, focusing on those who need daily medical help and support with regular activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and the staff are there 24/7, so someone's always available with a call system in every room and supervision all day and all night, which seems to give many families some peace of mind. Folks who live here get medication managed for them, wound care, and support from nurses with plenty of hours on duty each day, including mental wellness programs and help for those with special diets like diabetes; meals come either in your room or in a dining area with restaurant-style service, and they even handle laundry, dry cleaning, and linen changes for you. Every room or apartment's already furnished but you'll still get your own private or shared space, sometimes with a kitchenette, and you can use cable TV, WiFi, a telephone, and there's a move-in coordinator to help new folks settle in, which sure does make things less confusing.
Around the grounds, Derby Green has a small library, an arts and crafts room, and a spot for movie nights, plus a beauty salon and barber services. The garden and walking paths offer fresh air, and for anyone who wants to stay busy, the resident-run and community-sponsored activities include arts, crafts, scheduled outings or games, with extra attention to both safety and connection. There's no pets allowed, but there is a sprinkler system, emergency alert devices, and the community is listed as non-profit and part of a continuing care community. Derby Green Nursing Home has earned high marks-like a five out of five star overall rating on Medicare.gov, a staff and quality rating of five out of five, and a four out of five for health audits, with no fines or substantiated complaints reported. Owned by a corporation and managed through Purple Door, LLC, it's been open since 1994, accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and recently changed ownership. The facility ranks high in the state and local area based on recent surveys. This place serves people needing full nursing home care, both short-term and long-term, and is designed for folks who need everyday medical support, room and board, and help with most things throughout the day.
