The Elms Center in Milford, NH operates as a skilled nursing facility. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and coordinate with physicians. The center is equipped to handle short-term rehabilitation after surgery, long-term custodial care, and complex medical needs such as diabetes management, cardiac monitoring, and post-stroke recovery. On-site diagnostic support, including basic laboratory and imaging services arranged through local providers, helps staff respond quickly to changes in a resident’s condition.

Beyond core medical services, the facility delivers a range of supportive therapies. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with residents several times a week under physician orders to maintain or improve mobility and communication skills. Wound care teams address pressure injuries and surgical sites, while respiratory therapists are available for oxygen management and nebulizer treatments. Social workers assist with discharge planning and family education, and a registered dietitian oversees nutritional interventions tied to each care plan.

Resident accommodations vary by room type. Some rooms include pet-friendly provisions, private phone lines, cable television service, or direct views of the landscaped gardens and surrounding scenery, while others offer a more basic setup. Outdoor seating areas and a secure courtyard give residents an option for fresh air without leaving the property, but not every room opens directly to these spaces.

Meals are prepared on site three times daily with snacks offered as needed. The dining staff follows menus developed by the dietitian to meet general nutrition standards and modified diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or soft-textured options. Residents who require assistance with eating receive help from trained aides, and alternate selections are available at each meal for those with personal preferences or allergies.

For daily engagement, the center maintains an activity center where group exercises, crafts, and scheduled events take place. A combined library and computer lounge offers access to books, newspapers, and internet-enabled computers so residents can read, communicate with family, or handle personal tasks online.
