Studley Home in Rochester, NH, has been family-owned and operated since 1986, providing supportive care for up to forty residents in a warm, home-like setting where people feel comfortable and secure and can make friends or sit quietly if they like. The staff offers personalized care plans that can be adjusted as residents' needs and health change, and there's always a nurse on call twenty-four hours a day, so families know help is available if anything comes up, along with in-house physician visits from geriatric psychiatry doctors and podiatrists. The care covers a range of support, like assistance with bathing, dressing, medication supervision, and daily activities, with housekeepers and laundry staff who also handle dry cleaning, so residents and their families don't have to worry about chores. Trained staff are always nearby for residents who need help moving around, and for those with memory challenges like Alzheimer's Disease or similar conditions, specialized programs and extra supervision add a layer of safety.
The common rooms, gardens, and walking paths offer places for residents to spend time outdoors or take part in community activities, and there's a barber and salon on-site for personal grooming. All meals are cooked by an experienced in-house cook-who's been there over three decades-and the meals are shared in the dining room where residents can eat together all day or talk around the table, with special attention to folks who need certain diets for allergies or diabetes, and transportation is available for outings to parks, beaches, or the library, making it easy to keep up with the outside world. There's a calendar full of activities, including crafts, puzzles, music, fitness, relaxation, and even movie nights or visits from musicians and dancers, all of which help residents stay active and social. There's an emergency alert system in every room and a phone so residents can call for help or speak with family.
Studley Home supports independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and even home care services, making it possible for people to age in place with as much or as little support as needed, and they offer respite care for families needing a break. The facility is designed with safety and accessibility in mind and the staff use a medical-model approach to care, focusing on both mental and physical wellness. Residents have private, inviting living spaces, and the community regularly welcomes new people by offering scheduled tours and sharing clear information, so families can get a sense of whether Studley Home feels like a good fit. The facility is licensed by the State Bureau of Health Facilities in New Hampshire and maintains a deficiency-free record, focusing on compassionate, high-quality care that respects every person's individuality.
