On Thursday, May 16, The Gary Residence hosted a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the opening of Clara’s Garden Memory Care, as well as the re-opening of Residential Care following flood damage sustained in July 2023.
Several speakers addressed attendees with comments about the new memory care unit expected to better serve the community’s senior care needs. Speakers included Robert Lord, president of the O.M. Fisher Home Board of Trustees; Nancy Martin, past president of the O.M. Fisher Home Board of Trustees; Montpelier Mayor Jack McCullough; and Vermont Governor Phil Scott.
Clara’s Garden Memory Care is a neighborhood within The Gary Residence offering 15 private and semi-private suites for those living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia.
Residential Care offers comfortable, home-like and spacious apartments for seniors who need some services and oversight, but not full-time nursing care.
