Granite Ledges of Concord

A move to assisted living does not have to mean leaving Concord behind. Granite Ledges of Concord, at 151 Langley Parkway, offers assisted living and memory care in New Hampshire's capital city. Genesis HealthCare operates the community, and residents there include people who need daily help with routines as well as those living with dementia who need closer supervision.

Assisted living generally covers support with bathing, dressing and medication management, along with meals and staff available to residents throughout the day. Families touring Granite Ledges of Concord should ask exactly what is included in the monthly rate and what services, if any, are billed separately from the base cost of a room, apartment size or care level chosen.

Memory care is set apart as a more structured, typically secured setting for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. Staff assigned to that part of a community are usually trained specifically for that population, and the daily schedule tends to stay consistent from one day to the next rather than shifting often, which many families find reassuring once a resident has settled in.

Families weighing Concord-area options can compare this community with others through senior living in Concord, and it is worth asking directly how residents move between assisted living and memory care if a resident's needs change after moving in, and how much notice families are typically given.
