Austin Home in Webster, NH, operates as both an assisted-living residence and a licensed residential care home that can serve older adults with mild dementia. The community is structured to deliver everyday supervision for residents who are mostly independent as well as more continuous oversight for those whose cognitive changes require frequent cueing and redirection.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff to oversee care plans, monitor health changes, and coordinate with outside physicians. Direct-care staff members remain awake through the night, and an activity director structures daily engagement. The building maintains 24-hour staffing and security, and every suite is equipped with a pull-cord alert system tied to on-site responders. Personal-care assistance covers bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is needed, while eating support is available as standby supervision. Residents who use a walker or simply need standby oversight for transfers can receive that help whenever necessary.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and many come furnished, with residents free to add personal items. Some accommodations include individual temperature controls, cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry; availability of specific features varies by room type.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet common therapeutic and texture-modified diets, including gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, and vegetarian options. Snacks are offered between meals, and residents who are ill or prefer privacy may request in-room dining.
Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, communal gardens, concierge assistance, and scheduled transportation for appointments and errands. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
