The Mill House program consists of 19 private (one bedroom and studio) non-smoking apartments for individuals with low income who are in need of moderate levels of staff support to address their psychiatric symptoms and functional impairments. The program’s goal is to promote recovery and the highest level of independent living. Residential staff work with tenants providing functional support services to resident consumers in their apartments, the facility and the community.

Concord Hospital is among a handful of hospitals in New England to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which is a safe, painless, noninvasive treatment for depression that uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate the brain. Patients may be eligible for TMS if antidepressant medication use or other treatments have been ineffective. A typical course of TMS therapy consists of 20 to 30 sessions, each lasting about 40 minutes. No anesthesia or sedation is needed. The most common side effect after treatment is a slight headache.
