Penny Lane Shared Home-Elderly sits in a quiet neighborhood at 119 N Main St in Boscawen, NH, where family and staff work together to keep things comfortable and safe for folks who need extra help with daily life, especially with memory care needs that sometimes come with getting older, like Alzheimer's or dementia, and you'll find private rooms with bath tubs, meals prepared for residents, and caring staff on hand to help with things like bathing, dressing, and making sure medicine gets taken right, and even though the place doesn't have a walk-in shop yet, they're working on offering more, while their ties to a network of florists means there's online shopping for flowers and gift baskets, such as roses, plants, fruit, and more, delivered locally or sent far away.
The home has certain visiting hours, sometimes open from 10am to 3pm, or 9am to noon, and people living there can expect their own rooms, access to wifi, and they can keep pets, which is nice for folks who like having animals around, and there's both inside and outside spaces where folks can relax or visit with friends and family. Staff can help with incontinence care, high-acuity medical needs, and medication management, and there's a part-time nurse who comes in to help with health care, so things are steady and safe, and everyone gets meals, activities, and sometimes even a visit to the on-site beautician, plus they can get rides with transportation arranged by the home, whether it's with their own car, a community van, or even paid transport if needed. The area around Penny Lane is handy for errands and doctor visits, with nearby parks for fresh air, a few restaurants for those who want a bite out with family, and close access to doctors and pharmacies. Family members help run the place, and that shows in the way things feel more home-like and less like an institution, and folks here find a peaceful rhythm for the day, whether enjoying a meal, joining activities, or just sitting quietly under a tree outside.
