Plans in the works to open new complex care facility in Vermont
WCAX
A new medical care option for patients with complex needs could be coming to Bennington.
If approved by the state, the Connecticut-based iCare Health Network will purchase Bennington Health and Rehab. It’s a 91-bed skilled nursing facility that would adopt the name “Missioncare at Bennington” by the end of 2023.
The state Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living says about 100 Vermonters are in hospitals, correctional facilities or out-of-state facilities waiting for placement due to their complex care needs.
Missioncare at Bennington would also offer medications for opioid use disorder for residents in treatment.
