What to Consider About Assisted Living in Meredith
Meredith is full of natural beauty and lies south of the scenic White Mountain National Forest on the edge of Lake Winnipesaukee. The area is a haven for those who enjoy fishing or walks along the bay. Not only do seniors have their pick of several bodies of water, but three assisted living facilities in town and another seven nearby can accommodate the 18 percent population of elders.
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services governs the policies of assisted living facilities, referred to as Residential Care Facilities (RCFs). These facilities create a homelike setting for three or more seniors and offer services such as 24-hour support, medication management and organized social activities.
