Assisted Living Communities in Manchester, NH

"I moved my parents into Aynsley Place in the middle of a pandemic and it has turned out to be the best decision I could have ever made. I am so thankful for the compassionate & caring staff, every one of them. They are extremely qualified, caring & respectful to my folks with their challenges of senior living. The environment is fresh, bright & happy. The food is amazing! The management team is approachable, helpful and always available to listen or just talk. My parents came from another location, so I have seen the difference. Assisted living facilities are not all the same, I highly recommend you take a look at Aynsley Place in Nashua, NH"

"They are so helpful and interactive! He gets amazing care!"

"I have chosen here for respite care for mom. It's not a permanent move-in; she will be there for thirty days. It's a nice, small community, and it's a very clean building. I found that the people who work there are very easy to work with and accommodating. It was a very pleasant place. It's a nice-sized room, and it's certainly not small. It's nice, and it came with the furnishings that were needed: a bed, a chair, and a dresser. The only thing I would find fault with -- and it's not their fault -- is the way the building is arranged. The rooms don't have a private bathroom, but there are certainly many bathrooms available. In the summer, they have outside activities. They also do some bus trips. It seemed like a good level of activities for the type of people they were dealing with. I saw a couple of community rooms. I did not see anything that has to do with exercise, like a pool or anything. This is totally memory care, so I don't believe they had that, but they certainly had several gathering places. They had many books available, almost like a library. They had TVs and movies. They definitely had activities. There's a code that is published at the door. You have to push the code to get in and out, so it's not a locked facility, but if you do not push the code, an alarm goes off, so they are alerted if someone just tries to go out. It's a very pleasant place and in thirty years, I wouldn't mind being there myself."

"I visited The Pines, and what impressed me about this place was that the environment was lovely, and the people were very caring. They really took time to explain what it is and what is not. When I mentioned that my sister is 54 and that she has a spinal injury and what her needs were, they were very honest with us. They were really trying to give us the information to draw our own conclusion, and I appreciated that honesty. The facility was clean, and it was lovely. It was homey. They allowed us to see a few different room styles, each of which was appointed in a lovely way. The staff knew everyone by name. They made a point to show us the different places where people could go. "

"Myrtle Manor was family-owned by a mother, a father, and a son. It was an old building, but it was clean. I have my own room. I have a little garden I can work on. They were very friendly. They only prepare one meal for everyone. It's a small place. There are 25 rooms, and they only had 12 people there when I was there. They weren't overstaffed. The room I saw was on the first floor, and it was quite a big room."

"Courville provided a very pleasant experience for my Mother in Law who was staying there and they went well beyond expectations to accommodate the family visiting. For her Birthday, they set us up with a private lounge room and we had 20+ guests. I never saw anything that was unsanitary. They have some TV's in nice rooms for their residents. My only complaint was that at times they were short staffed, which caused a long wait for assistance. Not very good when someone needed assistance to the restroom. "

"I liked Villa Crest because they have different levels of care. The staff is very friendly and very visible. The interaction between the residents and staff was very positive. They have many things going on there. It’s just very expensive. "

"My sister is at Ridgewood Center because she has cognitive problems and early Alzheimer's. But I really wanted to move her down to Florida. Ridgewood was the nursing home that my sister had worked in at one time. Everybody is very nice. I think it's a good place. It's clean and the staff seems very attentive to the people. They try to keep them busy with different activities. The room is fine, but they have to go to a separate room for the showers. My sister is not crazy about the food and she complains about it a lot. "

"I toured The Courville at Bedford - Carlyle. The rooms that I saw had dark colors. My mom wouldn't go for that. She likes light colors. The staff seemed fine. They were doing some kind of class that had to do with history or geography. It doesn't look that big. It was all on one floor, so I think it was a pretty good layout. A lot of the staff members have been there for quite a while, and I like that. They had a separate room for arts or any projects there. I saw a library, which was nice. It seemed like there were some woods around it, so it was nice. You could walk along the pathways outside."

"My mother is at The Villager Retirement Home. It is a 16-bed private residential, but it has gone beyond our expectations. My mother absolutely loves it. The price is right too. Everything has exceeded our expectations. The facility is a really old Victorian home. They have a big wrap-around porch. There are 16 residents, and their porch has 16 white rocking chairs that, to me, it tells a lot right there. They have activities three times a day that they are expected to attend to. When you go over there, all the residents are out and about. It is a wonderful place, and my mother loves it. "

"They offer several styles of rooms that accommodate different price ranges and needs. Their facility is immaculate and they go out of their way to decorate for the holidays making it feel more like home. Their staff all are wonderful people that genuinely care and we felt great knowing our mom was in wonderful hands. They offer several events to bring families in and create a welcoming space. Our mom enjoyed the food and the variety of activities they offered throughout the week. We highly recommend Beaver Lake Lodge."

"The facility is family run and has a very homey atmosphere and the staff are excellent. The resident is definitely #1. "

"We have put my mother at All American in Londonderry. I liked it because it was a newer facility, near family, and very affordable. She plays bingo, goes to movie night, exercises, dances, and does arts and crafts; she does pretty much everything. Her primary care doctors come weekly to the facility. They have two primary care doctors to choose from if you want to use them. The staff has been accommodating and friendly. "

"Rose meadow isn't the normal assisted living facility. It's located on an old renovated farm. The old farm house was converted to aid the handicapped and they did a very nice job. This particular facility is dedicated to people who have had traumatic brain injuries and s set up for rehabilitation. The nicest thing about the facilities is that it's a house and each patient has their own bedroom, with a communal living room, kitchen and all kinds of space outdoors. I think it helps greatly that they aren't in a hospital setting even though they are equip ed for any emergency and the staff doctors are on hand for regular checkups and meetings on the patients progress.The facility cares for only 11 patients at a time and I believe the staff numbered between 20-25. The staff seemed very caring and friendly and the entire facility was very clean and well kept.Aside from the regular rehabilitation and special equipment and whirlpool baths for the patients they also seemed to have a pretty extensive recreational activities from inside games and activities to outside activities on the large grounds.Obviously having someone you care about in any facility is never a great experience but when you know they are well taken care of in a very comfortable home like setting like Rose Meadow then it makes it all a little more bearable.
