The Inn At Meredith Bay has many services and care types for seniors who want different levels of support, and what's important to know is they've got independent living for those who like to stay active and social, assisted living for folks who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or getting around, along with a special memory care section built for people with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia, and this memory care unit stays locked so residents don't wander off, plus they've got bracelets with alarms for even more security, and in this section, staff can help those with major behavior issues. The community is small, allowing only five residents, which makes things a bit calmer and gives each person more attention from the 24-hour awake staff, who are nurses and aides trained to give incontinence care, diabetic care-like checking blood sugar or giving insulin-and care for people who can't walk without help, sometimes using lifts for safe transfers.
Residents get three home-cooked meals every day, and the chefs and meal planners try to make food tasty and healthy, with changes for special dietary needs, and a lot of people say the dining experience is very good here. Seniors can join all sorts of activities, like music, art, movie nights, games, fitness classes, animal therapy, and outside trips, plus there are devotional services on-site and off and a full calendar to help everyone stay active and connected, and they even won awards for having great activities and friendly, joyful staff, who help visitors and families feel welcome.
Facilities include roomy common areas indoors and out, a swimming pool or hot tub, spa and wellness spaces, garden spots, recreation and game rooms, book rooms, a barber or parlor, and plenty of places to sit and talk or enjoy fresh air, and the building's secure with safety systems so people feel protected. Residents can have a dog or cat and there's parking on site, plus complimentary transportation for doctor's visits, errands, or social outings. Housing options fit different needs-studios average about $5,250 per month-and the place is built so people can age in place, getting more help if their condition changes. There's short-term respite care for those who need it, as well as skilled nursing and hospice for later stages, and the state of New Hampshire certifies the property, with The Gardens at Meredith Bay Colony Club connected for more options.
Family and resident reviews give it a 7.3 score for satisfaction, and the Best of Senior Living awards say they do well in care and support. Anyone can download a brochure or ask the senior living advisor for help with choosing, and all the while, residents get help with bathing, grooming, and other needs as they keep as much independence as possible in a calm and friendly environment.
