About This Community

Facing the challenges that come with the aging and frailty of a loved one can seem overwhelming.

First thoughts may be that a move to a nursing home or assisted living facility is the only way to ensure safety"¦but we at Live Free Home Health Care believe that home care "“ remaining at home with assistance "“ is a very safe and much more comfortable alternative. Serving the Lakes Region and Central New Hampshire, from Concord to Campton and everywhere in between, we offer both medical home health care and non-medical elderly home care services, covering needs from full-time, round-the-clock skilled nursing to just a little assistance with daily tasks such as personal care, housekeeping, cooking, and companionship. Live Free Home Health Care also offers medical alert systems to provide extra peace of mind should an emergency arise.

Family and nurse-owned and operated, Live Free Home Health Care provides care that allows older adults to age comfortably and gracefully in their own homes, with independence and a higher quality of life. Owner and Clinical Director, Jennifer Harvey RN BSN, is a Certified Dementia Practitioner who personally educates our staff of caregivers in key aspects of dementia and Alzheimer's care. Caregivers at LFHHC value continuing education and receive on-going, multi-layered training that is knowledgeable, experienced, and reliable to confidently recognize the slightest change in client behavior or needs. Unlike most other home care agencies, our staff of nurses supervises caregivers to ensure each and every client receives the highest quality of care.

We provide a free initial in-home assessment and implement a plan of care unique to each of our clients.

They could have helped him with his personal care. They were more like companions for him and he could have used more hands-on care. I liked that they were dependable.

They have made the experience positive by providing staff. If one person is not available, they try to replace them with another caregiver.

They helped out by keeping her washed up and keeping her engaged. Talking about stuff and making a human connection was good for her. I think most of the nurses had a really good bedside manner and did a good job.

My mom was in a facility, and they were in addition to the facility. It was companionship care for her. Our family all lives in California, and she lived in New Hampshire. It was also a second set of eyes to make sure the facility was working out. I liked their communication with me, and I liked the care and staff they provided.

In my case where I was caring for my mother, I had to be away frequently, so they were able to adapt the schedule. They came very close to fully accommodating us, so I give them high marks. They were generally very responsive to my requests, and they tried very hard to accommodate things that I required. Their caregivers come with a more comforting and personalized approach with the client than another company I used.

It is needed for my loved one. They allow my her to interact with someone rather than be isolated. I like the agency because they seem to be responsible in terms of following the schedule and providing caregivers if a change is needed in the week. They are wiling to adjust to any changes through the week, and the caregivers are punctual.

The provider has helped me by being able to do things that are difficult for me to do. I live alone, so having them provide support is nice. Doing tasks that I wouldn't be able to do such as changing the beds and so on. They've always been able to meet their commitments with their scheduling. Good people are provided on time.

My mother had stage 4 lung cancer living in an assisted living facillity. My father was living in an Alzheimers facility with late stage Alzheimers. All of the children lived out of state. The care provided by the Assisted Living facility that my mother was in as well as the facility that my father was in what horrible. The caregiviers were unwilling to help, neglected my father, didn't bathe my parents, etc. Basically we were told they didn't have time. We were paying a lot of money for both facilities yet no care was being provided to my parents, so my sister found Live Free and called them. What a difference they made in our lives. Their caregivers came and were so caring, patient, and loving towards both my mother and father in their respective homes. My siblings and I flew in frequently to be with our mother during this last part of her life and we got to know the caregivers very well. They became family to us and we trusted them dearly as we witnessed the way they cared for my Mom's needs and then went to care for my Dad. As much as I would have like to stay in NH to be with my parents full time, I had to go back home to GA, but leaving my parents in the care of such smart, professional and caring people made it much easier to go home. EVERY one of the caregivers that spent time with my Mom and Dad were so wonderful. I don't know how Live Free gets such great employees, but they far exceeded the quality of care that my mother and father received from the facility they were living in. Ultimately, we became 100% dependent on the Live Free Caregivers and did not use the one's provided by the faclities my parents lived in. Both my mother and father's face would light up when the caregiver came each day. As time went on, my mother passed away and the caregiver that was with me that day was so strong,caring and loving and I was so comforted by her being there with me. She rubbed my Mom's arm and I rubbed the other as she passed. We both cried and she immediately helped me out with what was next. I will always be grateful for the caregiver that was with me that day and how she took care of everything while I sat in shock and cried. Today, the caregivers still visit my Dad and they take him on walks, bathe him, play music and sing with him and just spend time with him as the facility he is in does not take care of him as we expected they would. If you ever need a caregiver, or just someone to spend time with an elderly parent, I cannot recommend Live Free Home Health Care highly enough. I would use them again in a heart beat if the situation presented itself.

We have gotten to the stage with our Mother that she needs assistance for a period of time each day due to memory issues. We tried a service two years ago while Mom was recovering from heart surgery, and they were OK. From the first interview with Live Free, we got the sense that we had stepped up to the Varsity Team. For the last several weeks, the care providers have been engaged and a joy to work with. The office staff is extremely helpful. We are fortunate to have a service such as this in our area.
