Review
Homestead Senior Living in St. Albans, Vermont, is highly regarded for its warm, family-like atmosphere and its picturesque location overlooking Lake Champlain. Families consistently praise the staff’s compassionate and skilled approach, particularly during delicate transitions and hospice care. The facility is noted for being clean, open, and well-maintained, featuring bright apartments with significant natural light and various shared amenities like a library, movie theater, beauty salon, and a scenic front porch for sunsets. While resident satisfaction is high, feedback on dining is mixed; while some appreciate the plentiful, home-cooked style, others suggest room for improvement in flavor and menu variety. Families also highlight the community's robust daily activity schedule, which includes exercise classes, games, and social gatherings that foster strong intergenerational and peer connections. Despite these strengths, the community faces common industry challenges, such as staff turnover and occasional weekend shortages, which some relatives feel can impact the consistency of care. Additionally, the facility is categorized as a premium option—starting around $5,665—which reflects the high quality of its "extraordinary experiences" focus. Overall, Homestead is a top-rated choice for those seeking a vibrant, supportive environment for independent or assisted living in a rural, scenic setting.
