The Elms Center

The Elms Center sits in Milford, New Hampshire at 71 Elm St, and stands as a skilled nursing facility with 52 certified beds, focusing on long-term care, short stays, and rehabilitation for seniors. Residents get help with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, and managing their medicines, and there are services for those with memory care needs or more serious medical problems that require skilled nurses. The Elms Center offers daily housekeeping, laundry, and meal services that consider special diets, including diabetes and allergies, so meals are safe for everyone. There's a strong focus on health, with licensed nurses, therapists for physical, speech, or occupational therapy, and access to medical providers for seamless care each day and night, and there's always a 24-hour call and supervision system for emergencies and peace of mind. Rooms come furnished, including phone access, air conditioning, and private or shared options, some with wheelchair-friendly showers and tubs; residents can also use internet and cable if they'd like, and common areas include indoor lounge spaces, outdoor walking paths, and even a community garden for fresh air. Seniors can socialize with movie nights, arts and crafts, fitness programs, and both on- and off-site activities, while a barber and salon keep everyone looking their best and courtesy transportation helps with trips into the neighborhood, appointments, or group outings. The staff assists with medication management, behavior support, and incontinence care, and there's a special memory support program for those showing signs of dementia, with added safety to prevent wandering or getting lost. The Elms Center accepts Medicare and Medicaid, making it possible for more families to consider this location for care; the facility is not part of a continuing care retirement community and is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Besides providing round-the-clock skilled nursing, there's help in place for complicated health needs, including wound care and palliative or hospice care. Rehabilitation and therapy services are a central feature, aiming to help everyone reach their strongest level of independence, and the center hosts a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic on-site. For those who only need help for a short time, there's a respite care program, and move-in coordination tries to make the transition smoother. The Elms Center isn't accepting new patients at this time, but when it does, a local advisor helps families learn about options, pricing, and verified ratings, and visitors often comment on the peaceful setting and warm, welcoming staff who work to make the residents comfortable every day.
