    Beautiful campus, serious safety concerns

    I found a beautiful, active campus with endless activities, friendly residents, warm and caring staff, good food, and a real sense of community and continuing-care options. However, I also experienced and heard many troubling reports-poor or inconsistent security (unlocked doors, no guard), malfunctioning Lifelines, staffing shortages, falls/medication incidents with little accountability, forced relocations/evictions, and allegations of financial misconduct. My takeaway: wonderful lifestyle and staff for active residents, but proceed with caution-verify safety systems, staffing, and contract/financial protections before you commit.

    About Taylor Community

    Taylor Community sits in Laconia, New Hampshire, with several campuses like Taylor Laconia, Taylor Sugar Hill, Taylor Back Bay, and Taylor Meredith Bay, spreading across the Lakes Region and even out to Wolfeboro, with a main beautiful 104-acre campus that's close to shops, theaters, music, and restaurants, giving seniors a chance to stay connected to the area while living with both comfort and support, and the place has a range of living options from simple studio rooms up to one- and two-bedroom apartments or cottages with full kitchens, and everything comes maintenance-free so folks don't have to worry about chores like house cleaning or laundry, and they've even got garages, lawns, gardens, and in-home help through Taylor Cares for things like grocery shopping or health checks. Residents can pick from independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need help with things like bathing and grooming, and memory care in a separate secure building made for people dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special bracelets that help prevent anyone from wandering off, and they've got a residential care home model for those who want a neighborhood feel and a live-in caregiver, plus home care for folks living in their own homes. Everyone gets meals, with vegetarian options, and daily activities both on and offsite like fitness programs, yoga, music, movie nights, card games, computer lessons, and reading groups, and you'll find a movie theater, library, warm-water swimming pool, bocce courts, shuffleboard, putting green, fire pit, fitness centers, and community gathering spaces which help people stay social and engaged. Dining here covers many tastes, from fine dining and brunch to bistro meals, pub nights, takeout, and even room service at Taylor Meredith Bay, and there's a cafeteria and private dining, all with food meant to be both nutritious and enjoyable. Taylor Community gives rides around a 15-mile area for appointments and shopping, and has parking and dog-walking for residents who love their pets, and they allow both cats and dogs. Staff members are always around, day and night, with nurses onsite and a doctor on call, and they supervise medication, provide help with bathing and grooming, and set up care plans that can adjust as someone's needs change, whether it's light, moderate, or higher care, including things like respite after surgery and hospice care for comfort at the end of life. They help with insulin injections if residents can manage their own care, and handle behavioral issues within the memory care section, including behavioral care programs and support for exit-seeking or wandering. Residents benefit from devotional services and can join trips, lectures, and activities designed to support body, mind, and spirit, and awards highlight that the staff's focus reaches across physical, mental, and social needs, aiming for a community built on respect, quality, and genuine care-especially useful for seniors without family nearby. The community is non-profit, operating as a private foundation under EIN 02-0222149, and keeps its financial, application, and grant information open on their website at www.taylorcommunity.org, where there are maps, charts, news, and social media, so families can stay informed. With levels of care ranging from independent apartments to nursing, assisted, and specialized memory care, and with personal wellness plans, many onsite and offsite activity programs, access to therapies from visiting professionals, and plenty of ways to keep busy, Taylor Community works to support seniors wherever they are in their journey while encouraging independence and safety, all within a landscape focused on comfort and simplicity.
