The Wellstone House sits in a quiet spot as a small, home-like assisted living residence licensed by New Hampshire's Department of Social Services with license number 2755 and can care for up to twelve residents. The house runs under the care of administrator Amelia Hayes and trained staff, offering both private and shared rooms, with a one-level layout so people can move freely and safely. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, using the bathroom, getting dressed, and managing medication. There's care for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and those needing respite stays or Certified Family Home care, and when necessary, incontinence care and wheelchair support are available. The Wellstone House prepares meals every day, serves them in a community dining room, and can make adjustments for different medical conditions or food allergies, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and more, while snacks and meals are available throughout the day.
Daily life includes regular events, movie and music programs, craft projects, fitness groups, and community-sponsored activities, so people have plenty of chances to stay active or socialize if they want. There are outdoor walking paths and gardens to enjoy, along with recreation rooms, a book room, and areas to relax, and intergenerational and community outreach programs happen too. Programs also include pet therapy, music treatment, games, and time outside in a quiet garden or on the walking paths. Physical and health activities are part of weekly plans, along with counseling and structured support and educational events. There's a barber or salon on site and a hot tub and health area if people want to use them. Staff provide transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, and faith-based services, plus help with move-in and any transition needs. Staff are present around the clock, monitoring health, offering housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and coordinating emergency response if needed, along with making sure everyone's safe with alert systems.
Residents have access to furnished rooms or can bring their own things, with options for privacy or sharing space if they prefer, and there's always someone to help answer questions or support families. The atmosphere is friendly and has the feeling of a private house, with quiet areas to read or visit, daily meals served with others, and social evening events. The Wellstone House operates with a community spirit but keeps the calm and warmth of a real home, and there's a Facebook presence people can visit if they want to see more about the daily life and activities there.
