Home Helpers sits at 1950 Lafayette Road Suite 103 in Portsmouth, serving seniors across New Hampshire including Bedford, Concord, Nashua, Londonderry, and Keene, and tries to make life simpler for older folks who want to stay comfortable in their own homes or need more care as they age. The community supports many kinds of care, offering choices like non-medical home care, home health care, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and full nursing home care, so people can get the help they need, whether that's in a big community, smaller neighborhood home settings, or right at home. Services come from a mix of local providers like BrightStar Care, Home Instead Portsmouth, Age at Home, Atlantic Homelife Senior Care, Amada Senior Care, and others, all tied in with the American Caregiver Relief Network and the Caregiver Community Forum to give families extra help and resources.
The care at Home Helpers covers daily activities like bathing, dressing, bathroom help, transfers, and medication management, and staff lend a hand with meals, laundry, light housekeeping, and companionship, making sure people don't feel alone. Seniors get round-the-clock supervision if they need it, plus special programs for those with Alzheimer's or dementia in secure memory care areas. Some folks live in independent or assisted living communities where they can join social activities, enjoy gardens or walking paths, join resident-run programs, or just relax with a good book in the library, surrounded by gardens and patios, and even get their hair cut at the barber or salon.
There's also help for families through things like the NHCarePath program, a FAQ to answer home care questions, and a provider login for accessing resources. Meals get prepared on site with careful attention to dietary needs, whether for allergies or diabetes, and rooms come furnished. Home Helpers offers electronic emergency monitoring, medication reminders, and transportation too. The caregivers are trained, bonded, and insured, and provide everything from incontinence care to hospice, always aiming to help seniors live as independently as they can while staying safe.
The community stays close to nearby healthcare providers like HCA Health Services of New Hampshire and Atlantic Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, so extra health care is nearby if needed. Amenities include a dining room, arts room, emergency alert systems, community-sponsored events, scheduled daily activities, and evening movie nights. Home Helpers keeps a team of about 12 caregivers and always tries to keep a supportive, welcoming feel, focused on making sure seniors keep their comfort and quality of life as much as possible. The senior living options cover small neighborhood homes, independent apartments, assisted living suites and studios, memory care neighborhoods, and large skilled nursing facilities, so all different care needs get met as people's lives change. Home Helpers is locally owned and aims for good, steady, reliable care, putting community spirit first and keeping people connected as they age in place.
