Morrison Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living sits in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire and runs as part of The Morrison Communities, which means there's a mix of housing and care options depending on what someone might need as they age. The place offers independent living apartments and cottages for people able to live on their own without a lot of help, and there's the Sartwell Place Assisted Living section, which gives support for daily tasks like bathing or taking medicine, along with memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia and the extra support they need to feel safe and comfortable. Morrison also has skilled nursing care available at all hours, plus different kinds of therapy, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, both for people staying for a while or just coming in for outpatient rehab.
At Morrison, people get their own space if they want, with choices between private or semi-private rooms that have their own bathrooms, along with things like cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service. There's a program that brings three meals each day made with nutrition in mind, and snacks are part of the routine, and they offer things like guest meals, special dining options, even vegetarian room service for those who want it. The community aims to be homey and welcoming, with staff that many folks have called hard working, helpful, and friendly, always trying to make everyone feel like they belong, bringing awards for care, activities, and friendliness.
There's help for people who need medical care, such as medication management, wound and IV therapy, diabetic care, and high acuity support, and incontinence or non-ambulatory care, as well as some alternative therapies, like Reiki, aromatherapy, and pet visits. The place tries to keep folks busy and engaged, too, since they've got an arts and crafts area, a gym, gardens and a gazebo for getting outside, a salon for hairdressing, and a summer terrace, along with activities like fitness classes, bingo, cooking, workshops, music (even a resident music group), movie nights, church services, and community outings.
There's a lot of work to keep things as easy and comfortable as possible-daily housekeeping and laundry get done, the rooms are kept up to date with modern furniture and technologies, and wireless communication helps people stay connected. Amenities also include pet-friendly living for residents who want to keep animals close. If someone needs extra help, there are home care aides for non-medical needs or just companionship. Visiting hours stay flexible for family and friends, and guests can share a meal if they like. Morrison Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living is licensed by the state, and the facility has put in the effort to make sure services fit each person's stage of aging, aiming for a safe and caring place to stay, from independent living to skilled nursing care, including shorter stays for rehab, respite, or hospice care.
