Chittenden County licence record

The Residence at Shelburne Bay

The Residence at Shelburne Bay is a licensed assisted living residence and residential care home at 185 Pine Haven Shores Road in Shelburne, Chittenden County, Vermont. It holds two separate Vermont licences, which is unusual and means the categories of care available on one campus differ by unit. The state records a designated dementia or memory care programme here. State records do not show participation in the Vermont Medicaid payments used in residential settings, so plan on private pay unless the provider confirms otherwise.

What a assisted living residence licence means in Vermont

An assisted living residence is a distinct Vermont licence category that combines a private apartment with a lockable door and private bath, meals, personal care and nursing oversight, under a model built around resident autonomy and ageing in place.

It is not a nursing home. Vermont licenses relatively few of these compared with residential care homes, so choice is limited in much of the state.

What a residential care home licence means in Vermont

A residential care home is licensed by the Vermont Division of Licensing and Protection to provide housing, meals, personal care and general supervision. Level III homes provide personal care; Level IV homes provide general supervision without routine personal care.

It is not a nursing home and does not provide round-the-clock skilled nursing. Homes vary widely in size, from a handful of residents in a converted house to purpose-built buildings.

The memory care designation

A state-designated dementia or memory care programme means the setting has been recognised for that specific programme. It is not a measure of quality, staffing ratio or outcome, and it does not mean every part of the building is secured.

What a residential place costs in Vermont
