About St. Vincent de Paul Rehabilitiation and Nursing Center
For nearly 60 years, St. Vincent Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has proudly served the short-term rehabilitation, long-term care and memory care needs of residents across the North Country and beyond.
Our motto is “One Heart, One Home, One Family” – a term that is at the foundation of the care and support you receive. One heart is ensuring you’re always treated with the highest level of compassion, respect and dignity. One home means creating a secure, warm and comfortable environment you love and thrive within. One family means everyone knows your name, genuinely cares about you, and you become a valuable part of our close-knit community.
St. Vincent is a recipient of the 2019 Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award and the 2019 AHCA National Bronze Award for Commitment to Quality (2019), both national honors for safety and quality excellence. Our resident satisfaction level – 97 percent – is well above industry standards.
Unlike most facilities in the North Country, the majority of our rooms (98 percent, in fact) are private, giving you the optimal level of safety and privacy. We’re situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, so noise or distractions are never a concern. The scenic views, too, of the White Mountains give you extra peace and tranquility, especially as you enjoy our beautiful outdoor garden area and koi pond.
