ABOUT
About Meetinghouse Village
Meetinghouse Village was founded in 1993 as an independent senior living facility. We are a non-profit, 501(3c) organization that maintains and furthers our mission through rental income and private donations.
A Brief History
Meetinghouse Village grew out of the success of our sister facility, Vernon Homes, which was established in 1920 in Vernon, Vermont.
In 1993, Vernon Homes’ leadership saw the perfect place for an independent senior living facility, and so purchased Meetinghouse Village, an existing campus with 24 apartments and the adjoining property, which would eventually become the South Campus. A series of expansion projects throughout the 1990s and mid 2000s on both campuses created the Meetinghouse Village of today that offers 86 apartments plus common areas, chapels and office space.
Meetinghouse Village and Vernon Homes together comprise Advent Christian Retirement Communities and provide a complete continuum of senior living and care.
Our Values
We will foster communities whose relationships and services are:
- Exceptional (Exceeding customary practices)
- Creative (Transforming commonplace thinking)
- Generous (Surpassing measured exchanges)
Communities of caring. Seasoned with grace. Our tagline underscores our commitment to serving seniors and how we serve them.
Mission
Our mission is to create more than an affordable place to live — a place to belong by fostering a welcoming, connected community rooted in compassion, dignity, and respect. Guided by faith-based values that shape how we serve and care for one another, we are committed to ensuring that every individual feels seen, supported, and truly at home.
