Pheasant Wood Center in Peterborough, NH operates as a nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. On-site physical therapy is available to help residents recover strength, improve mobility, or maintain current function, with licensed therapists working under physician orders. The community also accepts short-term respite stays, offering families a reliable option when a loved one needs temporary professional care and monitoring.

Beyond these core services, the clinical team develops individualized care plans that cover medication management, wound care, and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and continence support. Regular assessments help adjust care levels promptly, and coordination with outside physicians and specialists is arranged when additional medical services are required. The goal is to maintain each resident’s health status while aiming for functional improvement whenever possible.

Accommodations range from private to shared rooms, and features such as in-room cable television, wireless internet access, personal phone lines, and housekeeping services are available in many units. Some rooms open onto landscaped outdoor areas or overlook the facility’s courtyard gardens, and pet-friendly options are offered when space allows. Not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm specific amenities during a tour.

All meals are provided daily in a central dining area. Menus are developed to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for therapeutic diets or texture changes. Staff monitor intake and hydration, and snacks are available between meals for residents who need extra calories or simply prefer smaller, more frequent servings.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts group programs, exercise classes, and social events. A library and computer lounge provides reading materials, internet access, and a quiet space for email or video calls, supporting cognitive engagement and personal connections.
