Respite Care

As a skilled nursing home in Portsmouth, New Hamsphire, The Edgewood Centre provides respite care services on a space available basis to cover the short term or extended absence of a primary caregiver.

Short-term respite care is also available for people thinking about moving to Edgewood and wanting to fully experience the lifestyle before making a decision. Others come after being discharged from the hospital and realizing they need extra help before transitioning safely home.

Whatever the reason for the respite, our short stay residents tell us how quickly they feel right at home at The Edgewood Centre.

Comfort Assurance

Edgewood provides skilled nursing, long term care (including dementia care) and respite care for adults of all ages who are looking for specialized services and twenty-four hour care.

Families can rest assured that their loved one will be well cared for during their absence and that medical needs and dietary requirements will be handled by a skilled staff of licensed nursing home professionals who are committed to customer satisfaction.

Because care at Edgewood is resident-driven, maintaining comfortable routines and preferences from home is easy, whether a person is at Edgewood for short or long-term care.

A Lively, Loving Atmosphere

Residents who come for respite care enjoy all the amenities provided for Edgewood’s full time residents including dining services, housekeeping, laundry and a full activities program.

Respite residents may join Edgewood’s skilled nursing and long-term care residents for bus trips, live entertainment, parties, exercise classes, and Edgewood’s unique wellness program.

A full array of recreational activities is offered seven days a week and the daily room rate at The Edgewood Centre includes all meals and activities. Charges for personal products and pharmacy are billed separately.

Peace of Mind While You’re Away

The most valuable amenity we offer at Edgewood, by far, is the respect and love with which we shower our residents. We would feel deeply honored to know and care for your loved one in that same fashion.

You may contact admissions at Edgewood by e-mail or phone (603-766-2310) to obtain the current daily rate and to arrange a personal tour of the facility.
