The Best Assisted Living Communities in Rockingham County, NH

"My mom moved to Brookdale Spruce Wood. It was the nicest one that I went to, and it's not outrageously expensive. They also had a handicapped apartment, which is what I was looking for. The food is not fabulous, but it's okay. The staff is great, and everything is done well. It'as a very clean place."

"My mother has moved into Greystone Farm at Salem. It was more of my sister's decision. Of all the places that we went to see, my sister just seemed to feel the most comfortable there. They seem to be attentive and they'll address any issues that we may have. They have singalongs, they have church services or some type of services on Sunday, and reading hour. There's a lot of different things that they do that I see on the board. The dining area seems very nice and very well stocked. The staff seems very good. They always seem to have snacks and things available between the meals. The staff is easily accessible and happy to help out whenever they can when you may have a question. It seems quite clean. I don't see anything that's alarming. It's quite expensive, but since this is the first time, I really don't have any comparison that I can use."

"My mother has been a resident at Pine Hill for a year. During that time, I have experienced the staff as caring, involved, and sensitive to her needs. Mom's room is spacious and has a nice view. She enjoys playing games and the visits from entertainers and regular exercise. The atmosphere is cozy and down to earth. Because it is a small community, the staff and residents create meaningful relationships. Your loved ones do not fall through the cracks here, the way they might in a large, less personal community. "

"We are thinking of choosing Windham Terrace for my aunt, it's an excellent facility. The staff has been very helpful and was a pleasure to deal with. The facility is clean, they've got activities, they've got hairdressing, and dining facilities and the place was very nicely laid out. They also have a gym, and salon, the place was immaculate and the hallways were very nice."

"I went to Ashland Farm at North Andover. I know they seem very nice, very helpful, and wanted to make sure that the people who live there are part of the community and not just living in their own rooms and never coming out. They want them to get out and be active. The staff was great. They have activities every day. Everything looked fine."

"I like that Wadleigh House is small, the location is good, and that I knew some of the people already. I had to comment on the food because they were advertising it, but apparently someone moved in because the food was much better than at the other place. They have music, exercise class, and games where they speak different languages. The staff is very knowledgeable. It is very clean. I am looking forward to going there. "

"Every apartment has a different configuration. I have a spacious studio and just love it! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are kind and caring. There are 2 menus…one daily and one for alternative meals, hot and cold, salads, sandwiches, fish. Most of the time the meals are good, if it is not to my liking I send back for something else and they will try to please. Dessert is always a hit!"

"The tour at Evergreen Place was informative. They showed the different rooms, the meeting space, and the dining room. It's a lot smaller than the other place, but they only have like 50 people. It's the former Masonic temple, and it's been around since the early 1900s. It's a beautiful building inside. It doesn't compare to the other place, but this is more within Mom's means, and it would be a good environment for her to age in. They have shared rooms with shared bathrooms, single rooms with shared bathrooms, and private rooms with their own bathroom. I think they may even have a studio. They have a calendar that shows the games. They have a hairdresser there. What I like is that everything's all-inclusive. They don't charge you additional fees for overseeing medication. They don't charge you for transportation, but they don't have people coming in to provide services. It's quaint. The staff was very pleasant."

"Rosewood is an old manor, but I liked the rooms that they got to stay in, and it’s a nice place. The room available for my mom, however, was on the second floor, and the stairs were very steep. The dining room needs to be a little bit bigger. The people seemed to be crowded in, which we saw because they were eating when we were there. "

"The Giving Tree Senior Living is an amazing place. My grandpa moved there in October 2024, and it has been a wonderful experience for him and our family. From day one, everyone who works there has been friendly, supportive, and helpful. My grandpa absolutely loves his apartment. It’s spacious enough to give him his independence while still being a part of a community. He raves about the food— says the portions are generous and there is great variety to choose from. He’s always talking about how friendly and accommodating the staff is, which has made a huge difference in his experience. He enjoys spending time in the Pub, where he can play pool and socialize with friends. The community also has a movie room and an area for games. A nice touch is the piano in the lobby, for residents to play. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. The activities offered at The Giving Tree are fantastic, and they post the daily events in the elevator, so everyone knows what’s happening. The staff is amazing, and my grandpa has no complaints—he’s very happy there. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares for its residents and offers a wonderful community, The Giving Tree is the place. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything they do."

"My mother is in Hillsbrook Village at Allenstown. It's about $10,000 a month, and she's running out of money. The staff is excellent. The food is very good and appropriate. My mother happens to be in a special part of the facility called Egis, and it's for wandering people so that they don't have to tie them up. They have a place where they can wander safely. You can bring your loved ones in to have meals with the folks at that particular location. The dining area is very good. They have meals that are new and inventive, and then they have a lot of staples that most of us grew up with. The LNAs that come in and out are very, very helpful. They support that group of people every day. The actual RNs and such also are fantastic. If it was me, I would love it. I could play Scrabble every day, or Monopoly with other people. They have singers and storytellers and comedians coming in at least once a month. They're always promoting board games and cards and such for the entire community to use, and they have a library. They have heating and air-conditioning. My mother doesn't use all of their facilities, but if I was her age, I would be very happy. From the folks that are laundering the clothes, to the LNAs, like making beds, helping with showers, they're all trained properly. They are very good, and they have good ways of working with some of the folks that are maybe very troubled, because they're sick or whatnot, and these LNAs are bright lights for all of these people. They have crafts and it's available for everyone to use. It's well announced ahead of time. The people that like to sing can go out and sing. They have all kinds of stuff. Their food is very good. They have a variety for my needs and my mother's needs. I sometimes go with my mother to the cafeteria. It's a good menu and I think most people can say the same thing about it. They do their best, but there were some things I wish that they were doing differently in that area."

"My mother will be moving into The Courville at Bedford - Carlyle. What I like about it is it's small, so I feel that there will be more personalized care. The staff was very upbeat, very positive, and very nice. They seemed to care about their residents. They gave my mom some food to take home with her, and I ate the cookies. The cookies were good. It seemed very updated and very clean. The residents all seemed to be very happy. It seemed welcoming. The dining area was set up similar to a restaurant. I toured some facilities that it was more like a cafeteria with big tables. This place had little tables with four people sitting, so it seemed more pleasant."

"Benchmark at Bedford Falls is lovely; however, it's not a good fit for my mom. We saw more of the assisted living, but we did look at memory care as well. They were very welcoming. The rooms were very nice. They pretty much have everything. They have puzzles, nice rooms, happy hours, hairdressers, and a salon. It's just too vibrant of a community for my mom. She is going to be 91, and it's cost-prohibitive as well."

"Everything about Bowman Place at Olde Bedford was great. Our tour experience was fantastic. The director was a true pro and she's nice. The whole staff was incredibly nice and they knew their stuff. The place is only a year old, so the finishes were pristine. It was beautiful that I even wanted to live there. They had granite countertops and high ceilings. It's just incredible. They also had onsite physical therapy. We had lunch there and it was awesome. It was all homemade. Their chef takes great pride in what he does and the residents raved about it. The food was delicious, even the cheesecake. They do happy hours or coffee daily, they have speakers come in and talk, a gorgeous library, and gorgeous living spaces. It was all instantly appealing."
