American House Keene sits on a historic campus in Keene, New Hampshire, within walking distance to downtown, and the community shows a charming, red-bricked exterior with well-manicured grounds and community gardens that the residents get to tend themselves, and for folks who have pets, the small pets welcome policy lets you keep your companion close. The building stands two stories tall and contains a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some with full kitchens including refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher, and others with kitchenette and private bathroom, and every apartment gets a maintenance-free setup. People can pick independent living if they're able to live without help, or there's assisted living for those needing help with daily tasks, and then there's a memory care area designed to help adults living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia. If someone needs extra help for a short time, respite care is also available, and skilled nursing care can support folks who need a higher level of medical care than assisted living.
The staff offers personalized care plans meant to fit each person's needs and encourages aging in place, and there's support for activities like bathing, dressing, or medications if a resident wants it. The community's committed to keeping residents active with fitness and wellness programs like exercise classes, massage therapy, and a beauty salon and barber shop on site, plus a life enrichment program that offers many different activities and events. Residents gather in cozy common areas and the community dining room for chef-prepared meals with restaurant-style seating, and there are activity rooms for games and social programs, so everyone gets plenty of chances for social engagement. Housekeeping, weekly laundry, and daily trash pick-up help make life simpler.
Scheduled transportation helps residents get to appointments or outings, and the community provides personal transportation services, so people aren't left to arrange rides on their own. The building's interior spaces and exterior walkways are designed so residents can move about safely, and health monitoring helps staff watch for any concerns. There are also dedicated units for different care types, so each resident's needs can get met without needing to move far. The grounds allow quiet walks or time outside with family, and common areas encourage gatherings for events or visits.
The community operates 24/7, so residents have access to care and help anytime, and the team at American House Keene focuses on providing many levels of service including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite care, and continuing care retirement community options. There are plenty of activities to keep people busy or relaxed, and staff are attentive to health, nutrition, and safety, which means families can feel confident their loved ones are well cared for. The facility also maintains its own website for anyone who wants more information about services or programs.
