“Wake Robin is unique in its setting; surrounded by woods full of trails.”

About Us
Wake Robin’s mission is to create a sustainable dynamic community that honors both mutual support and independence and addresses the health and wellness of each resident.
We’re a non-profit Life Plan Community in Shelburne, VT, overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain. As a Life Plan Community (also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community), we offer independent living and a full continuum of care – residential care, skilled nursing, and memory care are all available if you need them.
Wake Robin embodies “resident-centered” community life. It’s led by an administration and staff who will honor your desire to organize and manage your life. In fact, that’s how Wake Robin got started – a group of local people decided to create a community where they would like to retire.
What We Value
Community

Difference
Welcome and value diverse backgrounds, believing in the dignity and worth of each individual and honoring the uniqueness of each person throughout his or her life, both resident and staff.
Environmental Stewardship
Enhance ecological sustainability by managing the impact of Wake Robin operations and physical plant on the environment.
Balance
