American House Keene offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need daily support can receive help with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting when a moderate level of physical assistance is required. The staff is trained to monitor and assist individuals with moderate dementia, and specialized protocols are in place for residents who manage diabetes, whether they rely on oral medication or injections. For mobility, the community can accommodate residents who use walkers or wheelchairs and provides standby supervision or a one-person transfer when needed.
Medical oversight is supported by an RN or LPN on staff and 24-hour awake caregivers. Medication management, incontinence care, hospice coordination, and on-site visits from nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and a massage therapist are available. Safety measures include background-checked employees, pull-cord alerts in apartments, round-the-clock security coverage, and a fenced rear area. An activity director organizes structured programming that aligns with each resident’s abilities and care plan.
Apartments feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry. Residents may paint or decorate to make the space their own, although not every unit includes every feature listed. For those living independently, optional services—medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry and a monthly meal plan—can be added without transferring to assisted living.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order dishes three times daily, with snacks accessible throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and the culinary team accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications as well as personal preferences. Independent-living residents who choose the meal plan receive the same menu variety and diet management.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access and concierge services. Communal gardens and on-site religious services provide additional options for leisure and reflection. Scheduled transportation is available for shopping, appointments and community outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
