Assisted Living in Windham, Derry, and Rochester NH

Assisted living and memory care both provide a supportive, residential setting with help for daily living—but they are designed to meet different types of needs.

Assisted living is best for individuals who could benefit from support with everyday tasks such as:

• Medication management and reminders
• Assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Meals, housekeeping, and laundry
• Transportation and daily routines
• Social opportunities and engagement

Residents in assisted living generally do not need dementia-specific supervision or a secured environment.

Memory care includes all of the services provided in assisted living, and adds specialized support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including:

• 24-hour supervision by caregivers trained in dementia care
• A secure environment designed to safely accommodate wandering
• Structured routines and programming tailored to cognitive changes
• Enhanced cueing, redirection, and reassurance throughout the day

The main difference is that memory care provides additional structure, safety features, and dementia-specific expertise to support memory-related changes—while still offering the same daily living support and comforts found in assisted living.

If you’re unsure which level of care is the best fit, our team is happy to guide you through the decision with a personalized conversation or assessment.

Assisted living is designed for individuals who benefit from support with daily living activities while maintaining as much independence as possible. Residents typically receive help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, meals, housekeeping, and daily routines.

For safety reasons, assisted living is generally best suited for individuals who are able to self-transfer, meaning they can get up from a chair, bed, or toilet independently. This helps ensure residents can move safely throughout the day in a residential setting.

Care is personalized to each resident, and our team regularly reassesses needs to ensure the right level of support as circumstances change.

We begin with a care assessment to understand the individual’s needs, preferences, routines, and medical history. This helps us determine the appropriate care level and create a personalized plan that supports safety, comfort, and independence. Families are included in the process every step of the way.

Yes. Our homes are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Residents have access to support at all times, including evenings, overnight, and weekends.

Not at all. Assisted living provides structure and support—but residents still maintain choice and independence. We encourage routines that promote wellness and connection, while respecting each person’s preferences for waking, dining, activities, and quiet time.

Our team is trained to respond quickly in urgent situations. If a resident needs emergency medical attention, we contact 911 and notify the family immediately. We also partner with families and healthcare providers to ensure care plans reflect each resident’s health needs and preferences.

Yes. Residents are welcome to go out with family and friends, attend appointments, or enjoy outings based on their abilities and safety needs. We encourage family visits and time outside the home—it’s an important part of maintaining quality of life.

Absolutely. We encourage residents to personalize their space with familiar furniture, photos, and décor to help them feel comfortable and at home. Painting is typically not permitted, and we ask that hanging items be done with proper hardware to avoid damage.

A typical day includes meals, social connection, light activities, and personalized care support—along with plenty of flexibility and downtime. Some residents enjoy group activities, while others prefer quiet routines, family visits, reading, or one-on-one engagement. Our goal is to create a comfortable rhythm that feels like home.

Boutique-style assisted living offers a smaller, more home-like environment with higher staff-to-resident ratios and more personalized support. Residents benefit from consistent caregiving relationships, calmer surroundings, and more individualized attention—often resulting in greater comfort and peace of mind for families.

Families are important partners in care. We provide regular communication, encourage ongoing involvement, and hold care planning meetings to review needs and updates. Families are always welcome to reach out with questions, and visiting is encouraged.

If a resident’s needs change beyond what assisted living can safely support, we work closely with families to guide the next steps. Our team will help with planning, communication, and resources so transitions feel supported—not sudden.
