South Harbor Senior Living offers assisted-living care designed for residents who want help with daily routines while retaining as much independence as possible. On-site medical oversight includes targeted diabetes management, regular blood-glucose monitoring, nutrition coordination, and access to a licensed speech therapist who can work on swallowing issues or communication challenges. The community also makes respite and short-term stays available, giving family caregivers a temporary break or providing residents a place to recover after a hospital stay.
Daily assistance extends to bathing, dressing, mobility, and discreet continence support delivered by staff members who are available around the clock. Medication management, routine vital-sign checks, scheduling of outside physician visits, and coordination with pharmacies are part of the standard service. An emergency call system links every apartment to trained team members, and scheduled transportation to medical appointments in South Burlington and the wider Chittenden County area helps residents keep up with external specialists.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to ground-floor units, and they may include kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV, air conditioning, washer-dryer hookups, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Utilities are included, and housekeeping is offered at set intervals. Some—but not all—units come with features such as resident parking, patio access to outdoor walking paths, or proximity to the community garden, so it’s important to verify individual floor-plan details during a tour.
The culinary program provides three daily meals in a restaurant-style dining room, plus healthy snacks throughout the day. Menus can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, or other medically indicated diets. Room service is available, and guests may purchase meals when visiting. Seasonal barbecues and picnics are scheduled in the courtyard to give residents additional dining options.
Residents have access to clubs and social communities, a dedicated movie room for TV or film nights, and a library with computer workstations. The activity center hosts arts and crafts, stretching classes, yoga, and broader fitness and wellness programs, while the indoor swimming pool supports low-impact exercise. Regular day trips, community service projects, live entertainment, and on-site or local outings round out the calendar, providing multiple ways to stay active and engaged.
