Information

In operation since 1973, Living Well is a licensed, Level III residential community care facility located in Bristol, Vermont.

Our dedicated and experienced team offers a vital, creative and compassionate family environment for you or your loved one.

● Quality life care for our residents is our top priority ●

At Living Well we are manifesting a new model of health care and community-based residential care, one that is vital and sustainable. We are interested in sharing this work with individuals, families and communities throughout Vermont and around the world.

We invite referrals, contact, and networking assistance from individuals and businesses interested in helping to further our work.  Please contact us or see our Opportunities page for more information.

Living Well is an educational and charitable organization committed to enhancing the lives of individuals, families and communities.

Our goal is to care for our residents using the most healthful, holistic ways possible, with the least impact on our environment.  To that end, Living Well dedicates itself to:

● whole person quality care;

● community involvement;

● sustainable practices; and

● active communication among staff, residents, our local community and beyond.
 

● We emphasize a whole foods diet, eliminating refined sugar and maximizing intake of fruits, vegetables and free range meats.

● We use organic ingredients and products whenever possible.  Several varieties of organic bread are available to residents at all times.

● Meal components are made from scratch, often from locally grown ingredients or produce harvested straight from our own garden!

Slicing and dicing is a favorite activity of this

current resident, a former short-order cook.

We offer a number of Vital Activities

● Residents enjoy free lifetime passes to all Vermont State Parks; we visit to view the beautiful fall foliage, and also go swimming during warm seasons.

● Approved strength training programs, led by a staff member.

● As shown on the right, several residents and staff members took some time to flex their painting skills and decorate pumpkins for Halloween.

● Music!  We have a keyboard and other musical instruments are available for residents who are musically inclined...or would like to be.

● To help celebrate the winter holidays, residents participate in decorating a lamppost located on Bristol's Main Street in downtown Bristol, VT.

● We entered the town-sponsored Gingerbread House contest and last year, won the People's Choice award!

● Our on-site garden, shared with a couple of nearby families, is maintained by volunteers, residents and staff.  We eat or preserve most of the produce grown, and donate the surplus.

● We attend the summertime Wednesday night Concert on the Green; musical performances from Bristol's town band.

● Last year, a number of residents worked together and made a quilt that currently hangs upstairs in the care home.

● In addition to voluntary participation in a number of fun, entertaining activities, residents also assist with basic household chores, including folding laundry and meal preparation whenever possible.

● A large selection of traditional board and card games is always available, as is bingo and dominoes.
