Lakes Region Visiting Nurses Association has been providing home health care since 1923, working as a nonprofit and serving folks in the Greater Lakes Region area of New Hampshire from its office in Meredith. The staff size runs between 51 and 200 people, and the team includes nurses, therapists, social workers, spiritual care leaders, and volunteers. This group offers many services to help people stay at home, such as skilled nursing care, hospice, home health aides, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. They also have medical social work, patient education, rehab therapy, private duty care for daily support, care coordination, and a Safe Place Grief Support program, so families going through loss can find emotional and spiritual help. Lakes Region VNA cares for folks dealing with chronic illnesses, people coming home from the hospital, or those needing support at the end of life through their hospice and palliative care programs, and they do all this by listening to what each person needs and making a plan just for them.
The agency holds a 5-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and has been named Best of the Lakes Region for Visiting Nurses from 2021 to 2024. They're licensed, Medicare and Medicaid certified, and accept all insurances. Their nurses and therapists visit people in their own homes, giving one-on-one support that's all about helping clients be as comfortable, safe, and independent as possible in familiar surroundings. There's care available during the week from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, plus a 24/7 call service for after hours, so someone is always reachable if help is needed. Over more than 100 years, Lakes Region Visiting Nurses Association has built a reputation for offering dependable and compassionate care, always aiming to support not just the physical needs, but also the emotional and psychological health of everyone they serve.
