Summerhill in Peterborough, New Hampshire, provides Assisted Living and specialized Memory Care. The team is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or night, have elopement risk, need special diets, are under 60 years old, or live with diabetes that is controlled by oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Caregivers have additional training to support advanced dementia conditions and adjust plans as needs evolve.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an activity director oversees daily programming. The building maintains round-the-clock staffed security, door alarms, and a PERS alert system. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric issues. Direct-care staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting and can handle mobility support that ranges from supervised walking to one-person or two-person transfers using walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments are set up for safety and comfort, with some offering a private bathroom and independent temperature controls; not every unit has every feature, so families should confirm specifics during a tour. Emergency call systems and accessible fixtures are standard throughout resident living spaces.
Meals follow a set menu but can be modified for gluten-free requirements, mechanical-chop or puréed textures, and thickened liquids. Snacks are available between meals, and nursing staff coordinate with the kitchen to align carbohydrate counts and portion sizes for diabetic residents.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, communal gardens, a library, and shuttle service for medical appointments only.
