New Common Spaces Complement Over 30 Years of Dedication &
Excellence Serving Those with Memory Loss and Their Families
SHELBURNE, Vt., July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Arbors at Shelburne, a Benchmark Senior Living
residential care home, nursing facility and Mind & Memory Care
community, today announced it has completed a significant
renovation as part of its decades-long commitment to providing the
best care and experiences for those with memory impairment.
"This project really shows our continued
commitment to putting our residents' needs first to help further
enhance their lives." -Wendy Brodie,
executive director The Arbors at Shelburne
Renovations to the memory care assisted living community include
updates to many of residents' favorite spaces, including an
expanded lounge, main and private dining rooms, and lobby. New
furniture, lighting, flooring, millwork, paint, window treatments
and accessories were added throughout the community. The project
included adding artwork featuring local landscapes and scenes that
help create an ideal environment for those with Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss.
Modern furniture features a design and fabric that is appealing to
those with memory impairment and helps maximize their comfort.
In addition to refreshed living spaces where residents can enjoy
connecting with each other, Arbors associates and loved ones, the
community's entrance has been reconfigured. The Arbors' large
number of daily visitors are now able to more easily flow in and
out of the lobby area.
"This project really shows our continued commitment to putting
our residents' needs first to help further enhance their lives,"
said Wendy Brodie, executive
director of The Arbors at Shelburne. "This is our residents' homes, and
we want it to be comfortable and feel like it in every way. Even
though we've been serving the Champlain Valley for over 30 years,
the community now looks brand new."
Dr. Zail Berry, The Arbors'
medical director, said the new surroundings match the skilled and
compassionate team serving residents. "From dining services to
resident care associates to leadership, everyone at The Arbors at
Shelburne is truly dedicated to
doing what's best for each resident. The entire team and the
support they provide is truly top-notch and I'm so excited for
everyone that the building and the spaces they enjoy is now a
reflection of those high standards," she said.
Recipients of U.S. News & World Report's coveted 2024 Best
Memory Care award, The Arbors at Shelburne's Mind & Memory Care program
offers carefully created living environments and unique
opportunities for those with mild cognitive impairment through
late-stage dementia to find joy in each new day. Memory care with
assisted living residents are supported by 24/7 care providers who
