Kirkwood Corners in Lee, NH

They were very good and we were pleased with the care that he received while he was here. The thing I really liked about them was how bright the facility is, it really helped with the sundowning that he had with his dementia. I would recommend Kirkwood Corners to other families.

Courville At Manchester

My mother stayed at this home for a few months prior to her death. The staff here treated her as their own mother with love and tenderness. Make no mistake they know their jobs and do them well but the human touch is never forgotten. I highly recommend the place!
