Upper Valley Good Day Respite Program sits at 18 School Street in Lebanon, New Hampshire, serving seniors and adults needing daytime supervision with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and support. This private non-profit helps people from Vermont and New Hampshire, especially those struggling with poverty, by offering a mix of care, food, shelter, and community services. The Good Day Respite Program mainly offers respite care for those who need temporary relief from caregiving duties, as well as adult day services where people can get personal care, meals, and take part in daily activities.
Caregivers can trust that their loved ones receive assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management. The facility has a mental wellness program and offers memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, providing secure spaces and activities that encourage emotional well-being and stimulation. The building can house up to 21 residents in semi-private rooms, private rooms, and studio accommodations, each one furnished and set up for comfort. Residents enjoy amenities like a beauty salon, small library, cable or satellite TV, dining rooms with restaurant-style meals, kitchenettes, high-speed internet, and attractive gardens and outdoor spaces for relaxation.
Meals accommodate special diets, including diabetes and allergy menus. Housekeeping keeps common areas and rooms clean. Staff offers 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies, helping to ensure everyone stays safe. The community supports social engagement through daily scheduled and resident-run activities, movie nights, and group events, allowing people to stay connected. Transportation and move-in help are available, and the staff works hard to personalize care and support based on each person's needs.
The facility also offers housing support to help people secure and keep stable homes, temporary shelter for homeless adults and families, food programs to fight insecurity, after-school and summer activities for children, and service coordination for those facing poverty. Staff aim to meet people where they are by providing immediate help with food, shelter, and other essentials.
This is a close-knit and practical community built around independence, safety, and respect for every resident, so older adults and their families can find peace of mind when they need a Good Day.
