Senior Health Care Services in Windham, New Hampshire

Windham Terrace in Windham, New Hampshire, offers outstanding senior health care services to residents of New Hampshire and Massachusetts alike. Our very competent and compassionate staff is dedicated to meeting the health care needs of seniors who reside with us for assisted living, memory care, or short-term respite care services.

Based upon regular senior health care assessments, we work diligently to develop a personalized care plan for each resident that appropriately addresses needs such as nutrition, exercise, personal care, medication management, and medical care. When comprehensive support is desired, day or night as needed, seniors find that Windham Terrace is a more cost-effective and reliable solution than hiring senior home care or home health care agencies to provide comparable levels of service.

Our senior health care services are available to our residents as needed. They include:

• Nursing care, including post-hospital or post-surgical support.
• Alzheimer's, dementia and memory care program, as well and special care.
• Medication management to ensure medicines are taken or administered as prescribed and that necessary pharmacy services and medication deliveries occur.
• Coordination of physician and rehabilitative therapy services as needed, including appointment scheduling and transportation, as well as the option of convenient in-house visits from experts including physical/occupational therapists and doctors with specialties such as primary care, podiatry, and geriatric psychiatry.
• Working with families and hospice care providers to assure that residents receive any specialized, comforting end-of-life support that they may need.

Especially vital to our residents from nearby towns in Massachusetts, Windham Terrace in Windham, New Hampshire offers supplemental nursing care—important services such as injections and administering medications that many residents need, but that may not be offered by staff of assisted living communities in Massachusetts due to state restrictions.

Windham Terrace has a team of Health Service Directors, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Resident Assistants who are committed to providing the highest level of senior health care services for our residents.

Additionally, the training that most of our care staff has received in both Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of our Automated External Defibrillator (AED) enables us to provide rapid response to medical emergencies.

Health & Wellness: An Integrated Approach to Wellbeing

Because research shows benefits for healthful aging, we plan our programs to support wellbeing through an integrated mind-body-spirit approach to health and wellness. In addition to health care, our health and wellness approach combines physical activity, mental stimulation, nutrition, socialization, and spiritual fulfillment as follows:

Physical Activity
Physical activity supports heart, muscular and skeletal strength and supplies oxygenated blood to the brain, supporting cognitive health.

Mental Stimulation
Mental stimulation helps develop and maintain cellular connections in the brain and defend against neurodegenerative conditions.

Nutrition
Nutrition is important in combating the effects of aging. For example, foods such as salmon, fish oil and walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and heart health, while foods like blueberries, broccoli, green tea and chocolate are rich in antioxidants that help defend against cancers and the impact of damaging agents (free radicals) on the brain.

Socialization
Socialization is very important to keeping people happy and stimulated, which in turn supports health, cognitive function, and even longevity, according to some studies.

Spiritual Fulfillment
Spiritual fulfillment and being part of a community are also shown to help reduce stress and contribute to health, happiness and longevity.

Using these core principles, we seek to promote wellbeing so that each resident experiences a quality of life that makes each day enjoyable.
