Penacook Place

Penacook Place Nursing & Rehab Center sits in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and has 160 beds for people who need round-the-clock care, and you'll find it as part of the Covenant Health system, which is a Catholic group with a long history of serving others, and you'll see them working with dignity and respect for every resident. Folks come here for different reasons, whether it's short-term rehab stays, long-term nursing care, or just a need for memory care, especially for those living with Alzheimer's disease, and they do provide palliative and respite care if someone needs comfort or just temporary support. Residents have help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, and the staff, including a long-serving licensed practical nurse named Snow Bote, looks out for everyone's well-being, day and night, and they've trained their teams to manage wound care, fall prevention, end-of-life care, sepsis smart programs, and mental health support for depression and anxiety. You'll notice a busy calendar with events, outings, music, dances, even exhibitions, plus support groups and community projects like backpack drives or making lunches for those in need, so there's always something keeping people busy if they want it. Nutrition counseling and psychiatric counseling are available so residents can get support for their bodies and minds, and there are common areas and activity rooms for socializing and recreation. You won't find fancy names for programs, but care plans get personalized for each resident, making sure their needs and wishes matter. Penacook Place is close to other Covenant Health centers across New England, working together to improve how seniors live while keeping care simple, gentle, and trusting-just as you'd want for any loved one.
