MissionCare at Bennington sits at 2 Blackberry Lane in Bennington, Vermont, and is a nursing home that accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, so people with those insurances can get care there, and it's a place that offers assisted living, skilled nursing, and long-term care, even for people who need help with complex conditions like heart issues or COPD or who are recovering from surgery, because they've got special complex care programs and a multi-disciplinary team who work out personalized care plans for everyone. Folks living at MissionCare at Bennington can join movie nights or spend time in an arts room, take a walk on their outdoor paths, or enjoy the community garden, which is good for those who like being outside, and those who need help with daily things like medication, bathing, dressing, or getting from bed to a wheelchair can rely on the staff since there's 24-hour supervision and an emergency alert system in all rooms. The dining room serves food all day and can handle food allergies and diabetes diets, while rooms stay neat thanks to housekeeping and laundry, and people moving in can use the move-in coordination service.
There's more to it since they've got their Touchpoints Rehab and Touchpoints Therapy programs, where folks recovering from illness or surgery, even complicated orthopedic or spinal surgeries thanks to their "Beyond the Joint" Prehab and Prebook services, get physical, occupational, and speech therapy, either as residents or as outpatients, and the staff pays special attention to those who have Alzheimer's or related dementia, with a Greater Hartford Memory Care Center right in the building for people who need it. Those who can't walk or have limited mobility find that wheelchairs work just fine here, because the facility is wheelchair accessible, meaning getting around isn't a big worry. Every room comes furnished, and there's a barber and salon, community-sponsored activities, and transportation and parking if going out is needed. For those whose families help with their care, there's respite care services that let those caregivers take a break, which many people find useful, especially if someone's care needs are 24/7.
MissionCare at Bennington has special programs for people who are justice-involved or difficult to place, so they help find safe care options for everyone, and for seniors who have to move from one setting to another, there's a Resident Relocation Guide to help families figure out transfers to iCare Health Network centers. End-of-life and hospice care, as well as memory care and help for those living with dementia, are all available, and the staff tries hard to be warm and make the environment welcoming, with plans that focus on preserving dignity, independence, and comfort for every resident. The place's three-star rating means it meets recognized standards for quality, and the people there know how to deal with special diets, help with transfers, manage medications, and coordinate with outside health providers, acting with personal attention so people get what they need, whether it's regular daily help or complex medical support.
