Ferncrest Adult Day Care offers senior care in a home-style environment. Although offering supportive health care services, such as medication management, Physical, Speech and Occupational Therapy, a resident RN, nutritious food, and lots of fresh air and light, it is first of all a "home". Smaller, family-style rooms offer people plenty of choices regarding activity, energy level, companionship and comfort. Ferncrest is located on 11 acres of meadows and woods. Our vegetable garden yields fresh vegetables in the summer and individual garden plots allow our elders to "putter' in their own garden. Extended hours, and the option of breakfast or supper, support care givers' busy schedules.

For over 30 Years, the Adult Day Program has been supporting families with seniors and those with disabilities. The program is an enjoyable and enriching daytime environment that is housed in the local Hudson Alvirne Highs school which provides opportunities for seniors to interact with the young adults as well. Our program provides a broad array of engaging activities that promote mobility, stimulation and friendship among the participants. Families benefit by receiving the opportunity to remain active members of the community. We are licensed by the State of NH.
