OSSIPEE — Carroll County commissioners last week awarded a contract to study the feasibility of providing assisted living in Carroll County.
Commissioners have sought a study on the need for assisted living in the county since 2017. A public forum on aging, which attracted over 100 people, was held in April 2017 at the Gibson Center for Senior Services in North Conway.
