Methodology
Why is this number different on other websites? Many directories quote a community's "starting at" rent, before care fees. This figure is the state survey median. It is an estimate to plan against, not a quote; ask each provider for its own number in writing. Our methodology →

Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care. Families usually combine private pay, long-term care insurance, VA Aid and Attendance, or a Medicaid waiver where they qualify. See paying for care and the state Medicaid guides.

Vermont licensing & regulation

Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) — Division of Licensing and Protection (DLP) licenses and inspects assisted living communities in Vermont. Before you sign anything, look up the community's license status and past complaints on the state's own site, not a marketing page.
