Connect55+ Concord NH is structured as an independent living community that can also accommodate residents with mild dementia. The primary care model centers on maintaining resident autonomy while ensuring prompt access to supportive services when needed. Residents manage their own daily routines, and the care team monitors for changes that might require intervention, particularly in memory-related concerns. This approach aims to delay or avoid the need for a higher level of care by addressing cognitive challenges early.
Care oversight is reinforced by an on-site Activity Director who coordinates daily engagement and serves as an additional set of eyes for health changes. On-site medical services focus on independent living support, providing quick access to basic health resources without residents having to leave the property. Staff can assist with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for individuals who normally handle these tasks themselves but occasionally need extra support. Transfer assistance is available for those using walkers or wheelchairs, and common areas are arranged to accommodate mobility devices safely.
Apartments are designed for privacy and flexibility. Many units include a private bathroom, individual temperature controls, cable connections, and the option to paint or decorate, though not every apartment features every one of these elements. Residents furnish and arrange their spaces to fit personal preferences, and maintenance staff handle repairs and routine upkeep.
Meals are served restaurant-style in a shared dining room, with rotating menus that accommodate common dietary considerations such as low-sodium or diabetic options. Residents who prefer to cook can do so in their own kitchenettes, and take-out trays are available for private dining. Scheduled meal times encourage social interaction, while flexible seating allows residents to choose quieter tables when desired.
The property offers resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and is fully wheelchair accessible. An exercise room, internet access throughout the building, communal gardens, and a library are provided for daily use. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
