Presidential Oaks has been known as NH Odd Fellows
Home since 1883. As a not-for-profit organization, it is governed by
a Board of Trustees. Odd Fellows is a fraternal organization, which was founded during the 18th century
to help people in need. They pursued projects that would benefit all mankind with no desire for
personal gain or recognition. For nearly 125 years, New Hampshire
Odd Fellows Home has earned its reputation for providing a safe and
loving home to seniors.
In the late
1920's, the Incorporators agreed to build a new home, as long as it did
not incur debt. Each Odd Fellow contributed one
dollar per year until the Home could afford to build. And in 1932,
following the "crash" of the stock market, "Main House" was constructed.
This structure still stands on its Concord, NH hilltop site on 11 pristine acres.
To this day, one can enjoy the fine wood work, original parquet floors, and
treasured antiques.
In 1992, the "Medical Building" was added to the
campus. The building provides a secure environment, central air, bright,
spacious accommodations, handicap access, and
convenient parking. Licensed medical professionals provide
state-of-the-art rehabilitation for brain injuries, joint replacements
and wound treatment. Our exception staff are specially trained to
provide end of life care in a dignified, warm, and compassionate
manner. |

In 2002, the tradename "Presidential Oaks" was adopted to
emphasize that the Home has been open to the everyone since 1965.
The name "Presidential Oaks" also reflects our historical link
to the only U.S. President elected from New Hampshire, Franklin Pierce.
Mr. Pierce sold his property to New Hampshire Odd Fellows in 1883. The name
also celebrates the "Oak Grove" upon which our 11-acre grounds now stand.
