Tender Care sits at 4 Birch Street in Derry, NH, and serves as both a senior living community and a provider of home health care in the area, offering a lot of different services like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice care, care homes, and home care for elders who'd rather stay in their own homes or need extra support in a community setting, and they cover short stays for respite and have continuing care options if someone's care needs change. Their certified home nursing service (license #02210) means registered nurses (RN), licensed practical nurses (LPN), nursing assistants, and home health aides can visit at home, help with things like medication management or rehabilitation after an illness, and provide skilled nursing care or daily assistance such as grooming, toileting, dressing, bathing, transfers, meals, and light housekeeping, along with support for people who need help moving around or have mobility issues, plus laundry, dry cleaning, and special diets for people with food restrictions like diabetes or allergies.
Besides medical help, they have staff who travel to each person's location, and everyone goes through background checks, license and driving record checks, drug and immunization screening, in-person interviews, reference calls, and confirmation that staff live where they say, which does bring some peace of mind, and their care planner helps families figure out which care type fits best before setting up a detailed care plan and service agreement, and you can schedule a first visit or consult very early in the process. Resident life includes active amenities, with walking paths, furnished rooms, a library, salon and barber shop, arts space, and a garden, plus social areas for movie nights and gathering with friends, and meals are prepared onsite with a dining room open all day, offering restaurant-style meals that fit dietary needs. Safety features include a 24-hour call system, round-the-clock supervision, and non-ambulatory care for those who have trouble walking.
Their services are broad, covering everything from home care to in-home skilled nursing, occupational therapy, rehabilitation, and specialized support for people with dementia in their memory care programs, with personal rooms equipped with telephones and common spaces that feel homey but practical. They encourage independence by helping with activities of daily living, and residents can join community-sponsored or resident-run events for social connection. Tender Care's facility and home-based options make it easier for elders in Derry, NH, to get the care or support they need, whether that means recovering at home, seeking regular nursing care, enjoying independent living, or getting more support as their health changes, and the organization's board of directors and management team oversee operations, employment, and staff training to try to keep standards steady across all these services.
