Valley View Home for the Retired, LLC sits at 92 Cottage St in Fairlee, Vermont, in a quiet New England town where you can see children playing outside and wildlife in the trees, and the home has a small, welcoming feel that helps people relax. The facility offers several kinds of care for older adults, such as independent living with resort-style amenities, residential care for retirees needing support, enhanced care for those with mid-stage cognitive issues, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia-each level tailored to fit specific needs while helping keep as much independence as possible.
Residents get help with daily tasks like meals, personal care, medication, and sometimes rehabilitation or nursing when they need it, and the place doesn't use locked doors or segregated wings, which helps everyone stay connected and feel safe. Valley View runs with a high staff-to-resident ratio, so people get more attention-especially important in their memory care program for up to 11 people, which takes a personal, hands-on approach, focusing on residents' interests, histories, and abilities. You'll find safety features throughout, and the house uses strategies to support those with cognitive changes-for example, letting people move about freely but safely, using familiar routines, and keeping things as homelike as possible.
The property holds a license as a level III residential care facility with enhanced licensure so it can offer a secure and supportive environment, and the residents can enjoy a maintenance-free life with activities, social events, and the simple comforts of home, surrounded by nature. The facility stays connected in the local senior housing community, keeping detailed, up-to-date listings of affordable rental options in Vermont, including properties for seniors, families, veterans, or those seeking mixed-use housing like Canal Street Veterans Housing, Elm Street Project, Copley House, or 10th Cavalry Apartments and Adele Stanley Apartments. The team at Valley View aims for each person to keep their dignity and individuality, offering respite stays for caregivers needing a break, and they encourage friends and families to be part of daily life, which helps make things feel less like a facility and more like a community. The focus always stays on meeting physical, emotional, and cognitive needs, nurturing relationships, and letting everyone safely enjoy life as themselves.
