As we age we often wish to remain home, but we can tire of the isolation, stress and uncertainty of running a household. Strode Independent Living makes the transition to a retirement community inviting and easy. You'll give up housework and property upkeep - and you'll enjoy new friends, healthy living, and a wide variety of activities and social events. With its orchards, berry patches, resident gardens, and walking trails, the design of Strode creates a living connection to the farming traditions of central Vermont.
