Westboro House sits in a quiet, residential neighborhood of West Lebanon, New Hampshire, close to shops, restaurants, banks, churches, libraries, art galleries, and bus lines, and it offers a home-like setting where seniors get help with daily activities if they need it, whether that's bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting around with a walker or wheelchair, and the staff stays awake and available at all hours with a 24-hour call system in every room so someone's always there to check in on residents if they need anything in the middle of the night or during the day. The community provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care services in one place, so a person can stay at Westboro House even as their needs change, and care plans get adjusted as needed, whether someone needs just a light hand or more hands-on help with things like transfers, managing diabetes, or even behavioral issues connected to dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's even a secured memory care section in its own building for those who might wander or have trouble with memory.
Residents can pick a private or semi-private room-all are furnished, can have a telephone, and come with call systems-and meals, cooked with options for special diets like kosher, vegetarian, diabetes, or allergies, are served family style in the dining room three times a day, where people get together to eat and visit, which makes meal times more social for those who like company. There's regular help with housecleaning, laundry, and linen service, and the staff includes nurses, aides, and visiting healthcare professionals like physical therapists, podiatrists, occupational and speech therapists, who stop by to check on residents as part of the community's routine care. The facility can care for people who use wheelchairs, need standby help, one or two people to help with lifts, or even mechanical lifts, and it's fully accessible with features like wheelchair-accessible showers.
Westboro House runs plenty of social, educational, and recreational activities, both onsite and offsite, such as arts and crafts, games, movie nights, musical groups, gardening, story time, and religious or spiritual gatherings held either at the facility or at local places of worship, and the community spaces-indoors and out-give everyone a chance to gather, walk, or just enjoy the gardens or walking paths when the weather's nice. Residents can take free transportation to appointments, activities, or errands, with paid options for special trips, and there's parking for those who still drive, space for guests, and it's easy to get to by bus. Westboro House is a Vermont-licensed Level III Residential Community Care Home, welcoming private pay and Vermont Medicaid (including ACCS and Choices for Care programs), and it can provide short-term respite or hospice care if needed.
The staff is multilingual, including English-speaking caregivers, and they're known for a supportive and caring approach that's meant to feel as close to home as possible, with each person treated warmly and with respect for their own routine and needs, which is why area doctors, social workers, and families often recommend Westboro House for elder care, especially for those who want to stay active and engaged but need just the right amount of help. The community supports residents with memory loss, problem behaviors, or issues with wandering, offering a safe and structured environment while still supporting independence, comfort, and social connections.
