Testimonials
"The Village is a terrific place! It is clean, the rooms are a nice size, the staff is friendly and caring. My mother is safe, no longer wandering, her meds are properly managed and she is eating well with 24/7 support. She is happy there, comfortable with the routine and loves mingling with the other residents and staff as well as participating in some of the activities!"

"We moved both of my parents to The Village from another facility and are so happy we did. The Village is a family and we have peace of mind knowing they are so well taken care of by people who truly care about them.
All of the staff are great but I have to mention Carol Kolenski, Move In Coordinator. Carol is incredible - professional, responsive and caring. She played a big part in our decision to move our parents after we met her and took a tour. More importantly, my parents both love her. Dad recently mentioned that she adds so much happiness to his day."

"I moved my mother to The Village four months ago.... She is very happy at the Village at White River Junction. She raves about the food and is very happy with the staff. They keep her very busy which she loves. She has gone to restaurants, shopping and even a horse show. They made a big deal of her 95th birthday with a delicious luncheon. The facilities are clean and beautiful and there is always something to do."

"Thank you to Jodi and all the Directors/Staff for making my father's transition successful! We had no choice but to move my father during the State COVID mandates. The Village has tremendous protective protocols for residents, staff and building. I don't think twice about my father's safety or care, he is very happy there."

"I moved my mom here from AZ from a very elite retirement community. We were a bit nervous about the move as the AZ facility was very posh. the AZ rooms and food were fabulous. My father passed so we wanted to move my mom east to be closer to family. We searched all over VT, NH and MA for a place she would be comfortable. Much to my surprise we picked WRJ, VT. That said, my mom is thriving and doing much better than in AZ. She has met very genuine friends.
The nurses and medical providers are super nice and personable. They accept my mom for her attributes as well as limitations. Carol the director of admissions has gone above and beyond to meet our questions and concerns even after we signed the contract. The food is great and WRJ is thriving these days. She can go on trips and out to dinner or stay home and socialize with family and friends. I could not be more thrilled with our choice after weeks of searching and meeting with various providers. I would highly recommend The Village at WRJ."

"My wife and I have lived at the Village at White River Junction for over a year and a half now I have been deeply impressed by the dedication and enthusiasm of all the staff, from office to maintenance, nursing, housekeeping, and culinary, for the welfare and comfort of residents. Not withstanding the stresses and strains imposed by the sudden and unexpected spread of COVID-19 in early 2020, and the need for new restrictions and procedures, we were all well looked after and kept both safe as well as comfortable throughout.
Proximity to emergency and health service as well as well as the facilities of the town having a great advantage throughout.
The indoors exercise room, library, music room, and gallery have been popular for all who can make use of them.
With changes in the weather through spring and summer and the opportunities for outdoor activities, we’ve been able to avail of well-planned outings and picnics, open air leisure time in the compact garden, and penthouse terrace. And finally, facilities for receiving guests and family for visits and meals have been a very welcome revival in recent weeks."

We also enjoy the Smith and Sons kitchen for family gatherings and the cooking demonstrations are one of our favorite activities. We work out in the Latham Gym every day and attend tai-chi classes as well. Sometimes we just like to relax and read in the Landmark Library. The food at The Village at White River Junction is very good with a variety of choices.
We are so content here at The Village!"

"After my wife passed away, my children and I had a lot of conversations about what would be best for me. I had many options to consider and I decided The Village fit my needs the best. I enjoy my new friendships and my children and friends like coming to visit me here. For me, The Village exceeds expectations."

Senior Living Dining at The Village
At The Village, we provide seniors three nutritious, well-planned, chef-prepared, tasty meals each and every day, but food is much more than just nutrition. Sharing a meal can be a joyous social time, filled with laughter and storytelling. Cooking and baking allow seniors to express their creativity. Food can be a source of entertainment and is an important part of celebrating any occasion.
Take a look at our delicious Breakfast and Village Fare menu options!
Windsor Dining Room
In our spacious, light-filled, ground-floor dining room, we serve you three meals per day, featuring regional cuisine and farm-to-table products, some grown right here at The Village.
Light Bites
Take advantage of your kitchenette to fix up a sandwich, a salad, or a bowl of soup. Pop something out of the freezer into the microwave. Or fix up something in the Smith & Sons Kitchen and bring it to your room. Whatever you’d like.
Edson Bistro
The Bistro is the spot for casual dining. Relax by the fire and order off the menu or pick up a ready-made sandwich, soup, or salad, and eat at your leisure.
Treats, Celebrations and Snacks
Creative hospitality is at the heart of Village senior living, and each week will bring new surprises. One week it might be fresh strawberries from Edgewater Farms, and another it’s a basket of straight-from-the-tree apples from Poverty Lane Orchards. Summer barbecues on the patio. High Tea on the scenic fifth floor. A Super Bowl spread. Mint juleps for the Kentucky Derby. We’ll use any excuse to celebrate with great food.
Smith & Sons Kitchen
This well-equipped, gourmet farmhouse-style kitchen on the third floor is the residents’ own community kitchen, and it’s available anytime. Fix your own specialty or reserve the kitchen for a special home-cooked meal. Guest chefs offer cooking demonstrations and classes.
Room Service
If you'd like, we'll deliver your meal right to your apartment, fresh from the kitchen.
