Nursing Home Communities in Concord, NH

"The facility is very clean. The mattresses are a bit uncomfortable. The staff are extremely caring, professionally, and well trained."

"We are waiting for Medicaid for my dad to be there at Hillsborough County. I like the staff a lot, it was clean and nice. The whole process was good. It has five floors of long term care. They had a lot of different things going on, and it seemed very secure. They also make sure that people get up and get dressed. "

"Courville provided a very pleasant experience for my Mother in Law who was staying there and they went well beyond expectations to accommodate the family visiting. For her Birthday, they set us up with a private lounge room and we had 20+ guests. I never saw anything that was unsanitary. They have some TV's in nice rooms for their residents. My only complaint was that at times they were short staffed, which caused a long wait for assistance. Not very good when someone needed assistance to the restroom. "

"Mount Carmel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center doesn't have the glitz and glamour that the other place does. It's a nursing home. They are older buildings. What's nice is that mom is very involved in her faith, and the Catholic chapel there is wonderful, and that's more important to my mom than some of the things that they offer at the other place, like happy hour. The room is more hospital-like or dorm-like. My mom did rehab at Mount Carmel, and she liked it. The rehab was great. My mother said, "They won't let me stay because they only have rehab and then nursing." I'm like, "You're only assisted living mom, and right now you're OK on your own." She was there for a month. If she liked it, that says a lot, because she is usually pretty judgmental."

"My dad is at Maple Leaf Health Care Center. We haven't been able to go and see him, so I don't know how he's doing, but I can tell that he is clean. I saw his fingernails were clean, he was neat looking, and his hair was combed. We saw him six feet apart and he was sitting on a wheelchair, so I didn't see him walk. I'm a nurse, so I was looking for how he was walking, how they transferred him, and that kind of stuff. They've been very nice, very cooperative, and trying to keep us updated. The facility is clean, but it's an old building, and kind of rundown a little bit. They don't have really nice outdoor facilities either. My dad used to look out in the yard and see his birds and stuff, and there's none of that there. It's just sort of in the middle of a city, but the people were very nice. COVID made it all difficult, but I think they're doing the best they can."

"They looked like they were very caring, and they had a lot of activities for the people and stuff. I have been in the lobby of Saint Teresa and the office; it was new and really very clean. "

"My mother is at Hanover Hill Health Care Center. They help her with her medication, and they give her showers. They provide all three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes it is served in their room, but most of the time it is in the dining room. The staff are very nice. It is probably one of the best places my mother's been to because she doesn't have to do much for herself anymore. There is a nursing staff. If she has a problem, they come in and check her out. It's much more convenient for her right now. The other occupant in the room would be able to have the same size bed. A curtain can be drawn in between. They each have a chair. They share a big dresser and a closet type of thing for coats. They also share a dresser for smaller garments. My mom has a nightstand to put her own personal stuff in. They have peg boards on the side of the wall, so they can put pictures up. There is a TV. The place seems to be very clean. I go there every Sunday to visit her, and they do a very good job cleaning. My mom actually is a pretty tough critic, so when she says the food's good, it usually is. She used to complain about all of the other places she was at. I ask her now, and she says it's really good. There is a bathroom in the room, too. The staff does a really good job. They seem to keep the patients very relaxed, so it's a good environment. They seem to be very, very informative and very knowledgeable. A lot of them are nurses and LNAs. They also have social workers that you can talk to. There is a rehab area. They have a big gym, where they take people if they want to do some exercises or go exercise for their PT. They keep the front yard very nice. Everything is pretty much up to date. I would say it's pretty much what you would see in a hospital. Like any nursing home, they do take a lot of her money from social security."

"We moved Mom into Villa Crest assisted living. She's been there for a few weeks now, and she's comfortable and happy. It has been absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough about it. The staff has been amazing. Everyone is so friendly. It was very organized and clean. It's just a happy community. She has a studio and it is adorable. It has a nice little kitchen area if she chose to use it. It's very pleasant. I'm very happy. They come and they invite her daily to activities, and yesterday she did cornhole. She didn't even know what it was, and I thought that was pretty impressive. She's done some bingo. She's trying different things, which just really warms my heart. She's a pretty picky eater, and she's been eating much better than she was at home. She hasn't complained at all. She eats whatever they give them, she says, except for fish. They seem to have quite a variety of activities, some are consistent, like they consistently have bingo. They have religious kinds of activities she could choose to go to if she wanted to. So far it seems to be very appealing. No one wants to pay thousands of dollars, but for what she's getting and the peace of mind, the facility and the food, I would say it's reasonable. I'm very, very happy."

"My father doesn't like the food at Bedford Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, but he's at a low-sodium diet so he's not going to like any food. The staff that I have dealt with there is very communicative. They answer phone calls, they answer our questions, and we do bi-weekly updates on his progress. They had to move him into a shared room because all the nursing facilities at New Hampshire were required to set aside all the single rooms for COVID patients if the hospitals would meet an overflow. The building is old and looks it, but it's really clean."

"We chose Peabody Home because I think their facility was a good fit for my father, and it was close to where we lived. It's in a small town. There are some restaurants and shopping there, but it's not in the city. The staff have been great. They are very attentive to my father's needs and our needs. He has a single room. It's large and bright with big windows that overlook the river. There was a nice community room. People are friendly. The other residents were also friendly. They have games. It was a good place to be. In memory care, their activities are more on puzzles and games like that. As far as amenities, there is just a courtyard, a little walking area, and a sitting area. There's a restaurant on the campus. There are places for haircuts, like a barbershop. There's PT and OT. It was a new facility. It was just built a few years ago so it's clean and updated. Being in the memory care, they kept them as busy as they could."

"Bedford Hills is very good, and they had a rehab center. The rooms are very clean, and the grounds are beautiful. The dining area is very neat and clean. "

"My sister is at Ridgewood Center because she has cognitive problems and early Alzheimer's. But I really wanted to move her down to Florida. Ridgewood was the nursing home that my sister had worked in at one time. Everybody is very nice. I think it's a good place. It's clean and the staff seems very attentive to the people. They try to keep them busy with different activities. The room is fine, but they have to go to a separate room for the showers. My sister is not crazy about the food and she complains about it a lot. "

"I visited Holy Cross, and it was nice and clean. They had card playing, and they were doing crafts. They seemed nice and very caring. Their dining room was very nice. "

"I went to look at the St. Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. I like the people. The staff members had a good rapport with each other. They all seemed happy to be there. They all had a smile on their faces. They seemed to be respectful of each other. The facility was clean. The atmosphere was positive. The dining room seemed nice. The room was adequate."
