Overview of Alpine Healthcare Center

Alpine Healthcare Center is an 85-bed skilled nursing facility owned by White Mountain Peak Healthcare in Keene, New Hampshire. The facility manages several financial paths by accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding suburban area is car-dependent with limited sidewalk connections, meaning family members will generally need a vehicle to run daily errands or travel to the property.

Stays average around 211 days, pointing to an operational footprint centered heavily on extended long-term care alongside short-term post-acute recovery tracks. This steady demand keeps the building functioning at an 84 percent occupancy level. Daily operations are backed by 3 hours and 13 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, utilizing an around-the-clock team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides who handle physical therapy, mental health recovery, total parenteral nutrition, and hospice services.

State files show a history of inspection surveys that have focused on medication tracking, restraint use, and infection control protocols. Oversight records from the health department indicate that the facility has implemented corrective measures to resolve these earlier tracking gaps, and the building maintains an overall cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Interested individuals can expect private and semi-private rooms equipped with individual climate control, building-wide Wi-Fi, and a security system designed for residents with cognitive needs. The kitchen coordinates meals to fulfill standard nutritional requirements, served daily in a communal dining room.

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 23m per day ▼ 47% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 37m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 9m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 50m per day ▼ 18% State avg: 3h 26m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 1m per day ▼ 77% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 20m per day ▼ 36% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day
