Monadnock Adult Care Center sits at 22 North Street in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The center serves adults and older adults from 38 towns across southwest New Hampshire and is part of a non-profit community mental health organization called BHN. The place provides adult day care and an Adult Day Program for folks who need extra help during the day, especially those with physical, emotional, or social challenges, so people can keep some independence while getting support. Services include help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, along with nursing assessments, medication administration, and daily health checks. There are furnished rooms and accessible areas for comfort and safety, plus ADA-accessible transportation for those with mobility needs, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Staff also help with meal preparation and can handle dietary needs for things like diabetes or allergies.
You'll see activities like the Strong Living exercise program, craft projects, poetry and story readings, community outings, movie nights, and art in the arts room or garden, with opportunities to get involved in service projects too. Folks get information and referrals, care management, clinical support, and family caregivers can join support groups, including groups for Alzheimer's care. There's also counseling for individuals and families. The facility supports remote patient monitoring, electronic visit verification, and tele-health when needed, and makes sure transportation is available for trips and appointments. Meals follow the CACFP food program, and there's always help around with housekeeping and laundry, plus a dining room with all-day restaurant-style meals, and spaces like a barber/salon and walking paths.
Monadnock Adult Care Center works within state licensing rules, keeps up regular safety checks, and meets Medicaid guidelines. It also operates under the USDA's non-discrimination policy, so people from all backgrounds are welcome, and it participates in the National Adult Day Services Association. The place runs a range of behavioral health programs for all ages and is known for providing a safe, comfortable setting for seniors who need daily care, respite services, or a supportive community where they can stay active and engaged without having to move away from home.
