Review

Sullivan County Nursing Home, located in Claremont, NH, offers a unique living experience for its residents. With three floors or units that cater to different levels of care, the facility ensures that each individual receives the attention they require. The majority of staff members encountered have been pleasant and helpful, creating a welcoming environment that has made residents like my grandmother feel at home.

One aspect that sets Sullivan County apart is its extensive range of activities for residents to participate in. From game nights to dances and even cooking classes, there is always something exciting happening within the home's walls. These activities not only provide entertainment but also promote social interaction and engagement among the residents.

However, amidst these positive aspects, one notable detail stands out as somewhat uncomfortable for both myself and my grandmother – the nursing home's connection to the county jail. This unexpected arrangement involves inmates from the jail assisting with kitchen duties and laundry for the nursing home residents. While some may see this as a unique way to incorporate rehabilitation efforts into everyday life, it does come with its challenges.

Unfortunately, not all inmates abide by the rules prohibiting interaction with nursing home residents. This occasional disregard can be unsettling and cause discomfort for both residents and their families. Although measures are likely in place to minimize any potential risks, this connection between the jail and nursing home can still raise eyebrows.

Despite this unconventional setup, Sullivan County Nursing Home overall meets the needs and expectations of most residents. The caring staff members strive to ensure all individuals are taken care of in a compassionate manner. Their dedication resonates throughout the facility and plays a significant role in making it feel like more than just an ordinary nursing home.

In conclusion, Sullivan County Nursing Home provides a comfortable living environment where residents receive appropriate care based on their needs. The wide array of activities offered allows for socialization and enjoyment among individuals residing there. While the connection between the nursing home and county jail raises concerns due to occasional inmate misconduct, the majority of interactions between residents and staff members are positive. Sullivan County Nursing Home's unique approach may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate its distinct qualities, it offers a fulfilling and accommodating living experience.
