Peabody Place in Franklin, NH offers three levels of residence—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so that care can be matched to changing needs. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risks, residents who are up all night, and people living with advanced dementia. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen management, specialized diets, and diabetic care for both oral medications and insulin injections.
An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock, and all direct-care staff work awake night shifts. Background checks are standard, doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and pull-cord or PERS systems alert staff at any hour. On-site podiatry, dental, and pharmacy services limit the need for outside appointments. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby with a walker all the way to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for residents who are bed bound.
Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate control, cable service, and in-unit laundry, and residents are encouraged to paint or decorate their rooms, although not every unit has all these features. Scheduled housekeeping and laundry are included for assisted living and memory care residents. Independent Living tenants can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service, and they receive a monthly meal plan while still keeping full control over their daily schedules.
Dining services offer both a set menu and on-order options, with snacks available throughout the day. Meals can be served in the restaurant-style dining room, in a private space for family gatherings, or delivered to the apartment. The kitchen can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets to meet physician orders and resident preference.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and landscaped communal gardens. A fitness room, wellness center, barber/beauty shop, movie room, library, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services support a balanced routine, while high-speed internet keeps everyone connected. Transportation is scheduled for medical visits and errands, and the property is close to public transit for added flexibility. Concierge services are available for everyday tasks, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
