The Arches Alzheimers Facility LLC sits at 9 Summer St in Northfield, NH, and is a small facility with space for up to three residents, so it feels calm and home-like, and the staff works to know each person well. The place is built for seniors who have Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia and need extra support, offering 24-hour care and supervision for people with memory loss, and staff members know how to help folks with dementia in ways that keep them comfortable and safe. The building is secure and has features to stop wandering or confusion, and there are common rooms, outdoor spaces, and easy access for people who need help getting around, including two-person transfers for those who need it.
Residents get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and hygiene, plus there are services for assisted living all day and night, like help moving about and managing insulin if that's needed. The staff supports residents with activities that stimulate the mind, including memory games, music, crafts, scheduled events, movie nights, outings, and religious services, and the whole setting tries to reduce confusion while giving people some variety in what they do every day. There's a small book room, a salon and barbershop, a spa or wellness room, social events, and spots for games, which can break up the day, and the community also has rules against smoking inside to keep the air clean. Residents can choose from semi-private, studio, or one-bedroom rooms, and pets are allowed.
The Arches provides hospice care and coordinates transportation when needed, and meals are prepared for residents with help always available if someone needs extra support. Trained staff follow the newest senior care practices and offer a resident-first approach, which means paying attention to each person and what helps them most at every stage of Alzheimer's. The facility takes steps to keep families informed, and staff want to support and educate relatives making choices about long-term dementia care. The community keeps the environment comfortable and welcoming for both residents and visitors, and the main focus always stays on the safety and dignity of people living with dementia throughout the different stages of the condition.
