Tobias House sits in Temple, New Hampshire, and has just six assisted living units, which really gives the place a quieter feel compared to the bigger ones, and you'll see folks get to know each other because of that. The building offers different living arrangements, like studio suites, private bedrooms, and shared apartments, plus everything is fully furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, internet, and phones so people can stay connected with their families if they want. The small number of residents means the staff, who are always around, can focus on helping each person with things like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine, and when someone needs more help, the staff can manage things like incontinence, transfers, medication, spoon feeding, and home health services. Residents receive personalized care plans, including specialized intervention programs and memory care for people living with Alzheimer's.
The place supports residents who like to move around by having walking and jogging paths, and there are scheduled daily activities like arts and crafts, game nights, chapel services, a movie theater, and a library for people who want to keep their minds busy. You'll find a community kitchen, a café space, and a beauty and barber shop, which does make getting a haircut convenient. Meals, which use organic ingredients and are made to fit dietary needs or allergies, come supervised by a dietitian, and you can eat either at set times in the dining room or choose all-day dining if that works better. People get help with things like laundry, housekeeping, and linen services, so there isn't much you have to worry about for cleaning or chores.
They have services like pharmacy access, transportation for doctor visits, escorting residents within the building, emergency response 24/7, a call system, and scheduled trips out, so you're not stuck if you need something. The staff helps with daily activities and non-ambulatory care, and they also offer massage therapy for those who want it. Because the Tobias House is a non-profit and focuses on community, people find programs and support aimed at making everyone feel like they're part of something and not left out. The facility is licensed for both assisted living and skilled nursing, and they help coordinate with doctors and care providers if someone's health needs change. Safety features, standby assistance, and intervention programs are in place to help older folks stay independent and comfortable as they age, and there's always someone around if help's needed.
