Overview of Langdon Place of Keene

Langdon Place of Keene, in Keene, NH, covers memory care, assisted living, nursing home, and skilled nursing care. Assisted living hands a resident help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily tasks. Skilled nursing keeps licensed nursing on site at any hour of the day or night.

Memory care is secured and supervised for a resident at risk of wandering. Four levels at one address mean a resident needing more help later is not also needing a new community. Short-term rehab is named as a service, with rehabilitation services beside it, so the recovery stay happens on site.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds are all taken. Medicare covers the skilled course that follows a hospital admission, and Medicaid becomes the question once savings are gone. Private money handles whatever neither program reaches.

For each resident, a day of nursing measures 4 hours and 20 minutes of hands-on time. Pets are allowed, so an animal does not have to be rehomed before a person moves in. Someone who needs daily help, nursing at all hours, memory care supervision, or a short recovery stay is who this fits, including a person whose needs will grow. Jennifer Rousseau is the administrator.

Overview of Hanover Hill Health Care Center

Hanover Hill Health Care Center has been a fixture on Hanover Street in Manchester for over 55 years, setting it apart from many other facilities in New Hampshire. It’s tucked into the Hanover Hill neighborhood, about a mile and a half from downtown. The area is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 59, so you’ll likely want a car for some errands, but it’s not isolated.

The average stay is about 121 days, which reflects a thoughtful mix of residents; some are moving through post-acute rehabilitation, while others rely on the center for long-term support.

Staffing is available 24/7. On average, residents receive 3 hours and 28 minutes of daily nursing care, comprised of 31 minutes from RNs and 2 hours and 32 minutes from nurse aides. The facility’s rehabilitation and short-term programs are also bolstered by physical therapists.

State inspections have focused on key areas like medication management, infection prevention, and the quality of care planning and documentation. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
