- Chronic and Iron Deficiency Anemia (Venofer)
- Osteoporosis (Reclast, Prolia)
- Infections (IV Antibiotics)
- Immunoglobulin Deficiency (IVIG)
- Covid Positive (Monoclonal Antibodies Bamlanivimab plus Etesevimab)
- Dehydration (IV Hydration)
- Polycythemia Vera/Hemochromatosis (Therapeutic phlebotomy)
- Dressing Changes and wound assessment

Our end-of-life care includes pain and symptom management, but goes above and beyond to meet the emotional needs of patients and their families. Our Comfort Care suite includes a private room with an adjoining Family Room, access to a beautiful all-season sun porch, and more.

Everyone is so friendly, so concerned about my physical and emotional well-being. … Everyone here goes the extra mile – it’s the most supportive environment I’ve ever been in. … When I posted on my Facebook page, ‘Where should I go for Physical Therapy and Rehab Care?’ within 20 minutes, I had 110 responses, and they all said: ‘Grace Cottage!’ Now I know why!” ~ Lynn Alden, of Brattleboro, VT
“I needed surgery after I fell and broke my shoulder, after which I came to Grace Cottage for outpatient physical therapy. My surgeon in Connecticut said that I progressed much faster than he’d expected, due to my great treatment here.” ~ Judy Rowley, of Grafton VT and Southbury, CT
