Nancy Best is the Founder, Owner and
Administrator of Autumn
Passages Eldercare--a home
care agency dedicated to
personally serving the needs
of older persons in the Monadnock Region for the
past 22 years.
A 36 year Monadnock Region resident
with a nursing and business
background, Nancy has
established the company
based on her love of caregiving,
our present elderly
population and the potential need
of future baby boomers.
In addition, she has
generously supported the
public through her work as
both a
hospital and hospice volunteer, scout
leader and is a member of
the Monadnock Humane Society
where she and her Lab Lupine
have received therapy dog
training.
Nancy's commitment to the
Community is evident in
every facet of her
professional, personal and
volunteer endeavors. She
works hard to ensure that
every individual has an
opportunity to live fully in
their own home/alternate
residence. When present
living conditions can no
longer accommodate their
lifestyle,
Nancy has all of the
resources available to help
families get through the
difficult decisions they
must make when living at
home is no longer an option.

The employees of
Autumn Passages were asked
to write short biographies
for this page. Amazingly,
they all repeated the same
themes over and over again.
They all love their jobs
because they share owner
Nancy Best's genuine desire
to help people. Autumn
Passages employees tend to
have their roots firmly
established in the Monadnock
Region. Compassion and
integrity are their defining
characteristics. They are
"family people" and they
understand the power of a
smile, for both the sender
and the receiver.
