Helen Porter Rehabilitation & Nursing is a warm, secure, and compassionate community where residents receive high-quality skilled nursing care and personalized support with daily living. We believe deeply in honoring each person’s privacy, dignity, and individuality, creating a home-like environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
We have 3 different units at Helen Porter, and you may apply to any of them as per diem Registered Nurses (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) through this application. We have a separate application for specific full-time or part-time openings. More information about the units below.
Located in the peaceful but hip town of Middlebury, Helen Porter is a newly renovated skilled and intermediate care nursing community designed to feel like home. Licensed by the State of Vermont and certified by Medicare and Medicaid, our 98-bed residence offers compassionate, person-centered care in a comfortable and uplifting environment.
Residents and visitors enjoy bright, airy spaces with high ceilings, along with a beautiful outdoor courtyard featuring a tranquil water fountain, vibrant flowers, gardening areas, and charming pergolas perfect for relaxation. Inside, state-of-the-art circadian lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere that supports wellness and comfort throughout the day.
At Helen Porter, we’re dedicated to creating a nurturing, homelike setting where every individual can thrive. Let us provide the exceptional care and warm community you or your loved one deserves.
Please note, all hires, including per diem and part time, must commit to a full-time weekday orientation for the first two weeks.
Building on over 30 years of high-quality long-term care, Helen Porter provides dedicated support in a specialized Long-Term Care neighborhood, separate from our Memory Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation units. Residents receive skilled nursing care, daily living assistance, and individualized activities and programs tailored to their abilities and needs.
Our Memory Care Unit provides specialized dementia care designed to meet residents’ changing needs as cognitive symptoms progress. Through our early-stage, activity-based memory care program, we offer a safe, supportive, and home-like environment that helps individuals maintain dignity, purpose, and functional abilities. This dedicated Memory Care neighborhood is staffed by compassionate dementia-trained caregivers who advocate for and protect our most vulnerable residents.
The goal of our Post Acute Unit is to provide supportive, goal-directed care following surgery and/or hospitalization. This amazing program helps prevent re-hospitalization and transition folks out of being hospitalized. Specially designed treatment programs provide patients with the preparation, support and education that enables them to return home as quickly as possible where patients can reach their highest possible level of independence. We provide rehabilitation and nursing support for a wide range of conditions, including stroke recovery, neurological disorders, orthopedic needs, respiratory conditions, cardiac issues, and post-trauma care. Routine therapy services are available Monday through Friday, with the option of six-day-per-week therapy when needed to maximize progress. Our nursing team extends therapeutic care between sessions by assisting with walking, exercises, and activity programs developed by our therapy staff, ensuring consistent support and strong clinical outcomes.
