Peabody Place
Peabody Place offers three types of care in Franklin, NH, which are memory care, assisted living, and independent living. The final option involves living independently, using community services and lacking daily care. In assisted living, residents maintain an apartment and receive help when managing medication, dressing, or bathing becomes overwhelming. Wandering risk is addressed by memory care in a secured and supervised environment.
Having all three levels on the same campus allows a resident whose needs increase to remain without needing to leave or rebuild their social connections. Respite care also includes short-term stays for a family caregiver needing time to recover or travel.
Peabody Place is located within the Franklin Falls Historic District. With a Walk Score of 64, it is considered somewhat walkable, allowing a resident who has ceased driving to complete some nearby errands on foot.
Housing includes studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom units. Studios have a personal space, and a two-bedroom can accommodate two individuals living together or a resident seeking a companion, and pets are permitted.
A dietitian is available, and the private dining room can accommodate family gatherings. Residents use the fitness center, the library, the bistro, and the beauty salon. Music and Memory programs, pet therapy, happy hour, and local entertainment are included in the lineup. Outings on the Peabody Bus include fall foliage tours and Mount Washington Cruise outings. Lynda Goldthwaite serves as the executive director.
