Presidential Oaks Assisted Living is a nonprofit retirement community with a history that reaches back to 1883, when it was known as the New Hampshire Odd Fellows Home, and it stands today as a three-story facility set up for independent living, assisted living, skilled rehab, long-term care, and hospice care, so folks never have far to go as health or needs change over time. The staff helps with daily needs like bathing, dressing, eating, or getting from bed to wheelchair any time of day or night, and they keep watch for emergencies around the clock, which eases the mind when health issues come up. There are studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom apartments, most with private bathrooms, roomy spaces, and cable TV, internet, and phones, plus some apartments have small kitchenettes or even whirlpool tubs when that sort of thing sounds nice.
Meals come three times a day in the dining room, with snacks and themed events popping up all year, and a dietician helps make sure what's served is nutritious and varied, so people enjoy eating together. Housekeeping, laundry, apartment maintenance, and transportation take a load off everyday chores, which leaves more time for game nights, happy hours, clubs, or just chatting in one of the parlors or on the balcony patio where the gardens grow, and those who need help with medication or diabetes get it from qualified staff. If a resident lands in need of rehab after a fall or illness, a therapy team gives physical, speech, or occupational therapy up in a newly remodeled 14-bed unit, and the skilled nursing floor runs right alongside for folks needing extra supervision.
To keep life busy and fun, the community organizes excursions out to restaurants, shopping, movies, bowling, boat rides, county fairs, apple picking, and religious services in the chapel, so there's always something to look forward to, and a private bus takes groups around. Activities staff tailor events to what residents enjoy and there's a strong focus on fostering friendships and social time. Residents can bring a pet along as long as everyone follows the community's pet rules, so there's a touch of home, too.
Presidential Oaks Assisted Living supports those who want as much independence as possible while offering a helping hand as people age or have health changes, and care levels can adjust over time as needed with everything close by, which can be less stressful than moving to new places. Room fees, a community fee, respite fee, buy-in fee, and care charges depend on care level and room size, and payment options include private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, or insurance. Amenities line up with what you'd expect for a retirement community-a gift shop, hair salon, activity rooms, maintenance, and more-and every effort is made to create a safe and comfortable setting, especially with wide walkways and alarms for folks with memory issues. Presidential Oaks has a mission rooted in dignity, compassion, and respect, offering affordable, full-service living where residents can stay as active, social, and independent as possible, all under one roof.
