"I've always loved working with people. So working at Granite Ledges was a natural fit."
"Granite Ledges provides a safe, supportive environment for the individuals who live there. I have a family member who has been at Granite Ledges for over 5 years and have been incredibly pleased with the care they receive. Staff are friendly, helpful, take time to get to know the residents and truly care for them. They have also provided support to me and my family as we have had to navigate declining health and memory challenges. The building and grounds are lovely. I highly recommend Granite Ledges to anyone who is looking for a safe supportive environment for an aging family member.

"As challenging as it was for my mother to leave her home and independent living, in fact, her quality of life improved greatly when she became a resident of Granite Ledges of Concord. Regular meals (with great food!), consistent medication, and daily opportunities for socialization combined to create a great experience in the last years of her life. The staff cared for her with such love and respect; they became an extension of our family. We were all grateful we made this choice.

"My mother has been a resident of Granite Ledges in Concord, NH for over 10 years. Our family has been very pleased with the care given to my Mom. The facility and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. More importantly, the staff is top notch and very caring. While there has been the inevitable turnover in personnel over the past ten years, there never seems to be any slip in the services provided to the residents. The food and dining room are also excellent. If you are considering placing a loved one in a long-term care facility, Granite Ledges warrants a serious look.
Bob and Elaine Mielcarz, Family Member”
"My family member moved to Granite Ledges nearly seven years ago, after living independently in the same house for over 50 years. From the start, the entire staff helped ease a difficult transition, and continue their kindness and caring to this day. There is a tremendous respect for a resident’s desire for independence, despite limitations that may be present. The current pandemic presents a challenge for all long term living facilities, and Granite Ledges has risen to the occasion. Not only have the staff kept those who live there safe and healthy, they have kept family members informed on a regular basis through Zoom calls twice weekly. This long separation has been difficult for residents and family members alike, but the staff has continued to find numerous ways, both large and small, to improve the quality of life over the past five months. I highly, highly recommend it.

When it comes to health care, quality of life has become increasingly important in recent years.
Maintaining health and wellness is an ongoing goal, even as we age — or maybe especially as we age.
While taking care of an elderly loved one, it’s important to also take care of yourself.
