A Private Non-Profit Senior Community since 1886
Our assisted living and memory care community is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood in the southern end of Burlington. We have beautifully landscaped grounds that include large flower and vegetable gardens, a gazebo and many areas for our residents to enjoy being outside. We are just minutes away from the University of Vermont Medical Center and the many activities and cultural offerings of the city.
The original part of The Converse Home was built in 1799 as a private mansion and, as one of the oldest buildings in the city, holds a place on the Historic Register. Established in 1886 as a private, non-profit organization, we are well known for our warm, welcoming and home-like atmosphere.
First time visitors often say “I feel like I am in someone’s home”… and that is just the feeling The Converse Home strives to create for each of our residents. Gardenview, our memory care community, offers specialized services for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.

We have a heritage virtually unparalleled in the Burlington community. For over a century residents and their families have chosen to make The Converse Home their home.
Our mission has remained steadfast throughout the years… to provide older persons with a gracious home along with high quality services.
An editorial in 1945 in the Burlington Free Press, when our name was The Home for Aged Women, best describes who we have been and who we continue to be:
“The Home for Aged Women, which is just rounding out its fifty-ninth year of service, is exceptional in the atmosphere of charm, vitality and friendliness which it has managed to maintain throughout the years. The distinctive quality of this institution is that it has escaped becoming institutionalized and has remained a very charming, congenial community. The Home for Aged Women is one good work which has been kept so vital that the enthusiasm and human touch of those who established it has persisted through the years.”
To this day, we continue as a private, non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
