Craftsbury Community Care Center

What Craftsbury Community Care Center does

Craftsbury Community Care Center (CCCC) is a 24-bed, non-denominational, non-profit 501(c)(3) residential care facility located on 8 acres in Craftsbury, Vermont, in the state's rural Northeast Kingdom. Founded in 1994 and opened to residents in 1995, the organization has served over 235 people across 29 years of operation. Its core offering is long-term residential elder care, providing private rooms, three daily home-cooked meals, housekeeping, laundry, 24/7 nursing coverage (with RN on call), medication assistance, transportation, and emergency call response. Complementary services include short-term respite stays (minimum two weeks), a robust daily activity program (exercise classes, music, crafts, intergenerational programming with a local preschool, and outings), on-site salon services at additional charge, and a Meals on Wheels program that prepares over 4,200 meals per year for twice-weekly volunteer delivery to local residents. The facility serves seniors aged 65 and older who need support with daily living, as well as their family members seeking assurance of 24/7 care in a homelike environment.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: (1) recurring monthly residential care fees (specific rates not publicly disclosed) paid by private-pay residents, (2) Medicaid reimbursements that cover approximately one-third of the actual cost of care for eligible low-income residents, and (3) charitable donations collected through an Annual Appeal campaign and a dedicated Building Fund for capital needs. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and supported by community volunteers. Go-to-market is exclusively direct-to-consumer and driven by word-of-mouth referrals, local church and community relationships, in-person facility tours, and a Facebook page; no paid advertising or formal sales infrastructure exists.

The facility employs roughly 33 staff across administrative, nursing (RNs and LPNs), resident assistant, dietary, housekeeping, activities, and maintenance functions. Staff retention is unusually high — one employee has been there since opening day, one-third have over five years of tenure, and six have over a decade. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operation relies on standard residential care infrastructure. Technology, AI, and digital capabilities are not material to the business model, which is fundamentally a relationship-driven, labor-intensive care service in a geographically constrained rural market.

Revenue model

1. Monthly Residential Care Fees: Residents pay monthly fees for room, meals, housekeeping, laundry, activities, and basic care services. Some rooms are reserved for limited-income residents. Security deposit is required (refundable upon departure).
2. Medicaid Payments: Medicaid payments subsidize residential costs for eligible low-income residents. However, Medicaid payments reportedly cover only about one-third of actual cost of living at the facility, requiring charitable subsidy to cover the gap.
3. Charitable Donations and Annual Appeal: Annual fundraising campaign subsidizes Medicaid residents and maintains facility conditions. Building Fund accepts donations for capital improvements. The organization is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation.
4. Meals on Wheels Program: Facility prepares over 4,200 Meals on Wheels per year that volunteers deliver to local residents twice each week, representing a community service revenue offset.
