Wake Robin

Interested in picking up painting or silversmithing? How about developing your woodworking skills? Wake Robin offers residents many creative classes that renew old passions and spark new ones.

Wake Robin is designed to foster friendships & get-togethers, which is why each apartment floor has its own lounge for hosting events like writing groups & intimate musical performances. Pictured here is a new Maple lounge. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a tour! @_McKnightsSL

@Jaeben5 @wsdvt The feeling is mutual 🤓

Happy Valentine's Day from Wake Robin Linden Health Center residents and their pen pals, students of the Allen Brook School in Williston, Vermont @wsdvt!

The Gentry Gallery currently shows paintings shaped from smoked wax, an ancient tradition started by the Greeks. The artist, who has been creating since the 1970s, continues to make his art here at Wake Robin!

Independent living means independent thinking. Forge your own trail! @icaanews

The entire Wake Robin family is extremely excited to welcome Martha Maksym as our new CEO and president! Martha hosted her first Cup of Conversation today and demonstrated her personal touch with residents. Please give her a warm welcome!

Thank you the the @MerzTrio for an electrifying performance! Cultural enrichment is a major part of the Wake Robin lifestyle and residents play a key part in bringing in wonderful talent, like this awesome trio!

In an effort to learn more about road safety for seniors and to possibly reduce their car insurance, residents gathered for an @AARP class on Smart Driving. Thank you for the presentation!

A group of fiber artists at Wake Robin created "The Light We Live In" and the inspiration for the colors featured were the hues of the Vermont landscape. We are continually impressed by the creative spirit and talent of the people who call Wake Robin home! @journalwsd

HR Director Anne Levesque stands with @FeedChittenden Director Rob Meehan & Community Engagement Manager Anna McMahon. Feeding Chittenden has an incredible impact on the local community & that's why Wake Robin staff donated over $2000 to help keep their fellow non profit strong!

The Community Center's halls have been beautifully renovated & the resident-curated gallery of fascinating objects has returned! It's called the Gentry Gallery in honor of Wake Robin's founders, & each exhibit is based on a theme. What do you think this one is? Hint: "vroooom" 🏍️

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." On this day, Wake Robin celebrates with the worldwide community in honoring the teachings and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay #MLK2020

It's fitting that Wake Robin's CEO, Patrick McKee, ends his tenure with a joke and a smile. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Patrick, for your leadership, hard work, generous spirit, and deadpan wit! We will miss you!

Music Lover? Wake Robin's new Maple apartment building plays host to a beautiful baby grand Steinway piano. Its lobby is the perfect location for parties, concerts, and individual practice sessions.

That's a wrap! As part of Wake Robin's lifelong learning semester, Inquire, pastry chef extraordinaire Jesse Lower led a baking class on the fundamental of sweet treats. (Hint: use butter, lots of it.) Best of all, residents got to bake AND take home cakes!

Happy new year, happy new decade! Wake Robin wishes you and yours health and happiness as we all begin a new chapter...

The Jean Connor Library has been relocated to a new, expanded space just down the hall from the Community Center lobby. It features nearly 4,000 books, with new ones coming each month, and around 1,000 DVDs. Plenty to inform, enlighten and entertain Wake Robin residents!

A Fitness Center orientation helped familiarize residents with the brand new machines & space, including a @nordictrack bike equipped with @ifit plus cutting-edge @KeiserFitness machines. Residents & staff have already enjoyed the thrill of exercising in the new Fitness Center!

Wake Robin's annual holiday market was a hit! Residents and staff sold their artisanal goods and there was fresh produce from Shakey Ground Farm of Charlotte and fresh breads and pastries from @OBreadBakery!
