The rehabilitation facilities at Rose Meadow Farm provide both short and long term care for adults with head and spinal cord injuries.

As brain and head injury becomes headline news, an unfortunate result of American casualties in the Iraq War, the public is at last becoming more familiar with the complex and often profound effects an accident or other injury can have on brain function and on individuals suffering the injury. Anyone, of any age, can suffer a brain or spinal cord injury in an instant that can change life forever for him- or herself and for his or her family and friends. Acquired brain injury, or ABI, can result from something as drastic as a war wound or a car accident, or from an event as simple as a household fall, and can have consequences ranging from mild to profound disability. Although many people, with the appropriate acute and post acute brain injury rehabilitation, can go on to have productive lives, many others will need long term care, perhaps for the rest of their lives.

Normalcy- an important part of recovery from brain and head injury

Joanne Devine and Dan Donovan, owners of Rose Meadow Farm and their new facility, Rose Meadow Garden, in New Boston, NH, believe that providing a warm, home-like environment is an important part of the rehabilitation process. Their brain injury recovery facility offers the most up-to-date post-acute care in a setting that offers residents private rooms, individually decorated by the resident. Far from clinical, the Rose Meadow brain and head injury programs offer community based rehabilitation services in a family style living arrangement. The services include speech therapy, vocational services, and physical and occupational therapy as appropriate, as well as specialty services for ABI and spinal cord care, structured day activities programs, community reintegration, and a remarkably low patient-to-staff ratio, all in a country home setting featuring homemade meals and a relaxed lifestyle.

A range of services in a specialized supported residence.

Rose Meadow offers brain and head injury residents a variety of specialized services that can range from independent living to supported living to complete 24-hour long term care for the most profoundly affected patients. But no matter what the level of care they require, all residents participate in community based care services.

Both Rose Meadow Farm and Rose Meadow Garden are licensed by the state of N.H. as a specialized assisted living facilities. Nursing services including an on-staff RN as a client care coordinator, LNA to CAN, LPN services to meet medical needs management, and rehabilitative service management-all in a warm and welcoming setting. For the patient facing challenges in his or her life, Rose Meadow caters to the rehabilitative process of each individual.
