Meetinghouse Village is a private, not-for-profit retirement community spread across two campuses, and you'll find a mix of care levels here-independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care options, which means folks can get the right amount of help as their needs change, and there are no entrance fees or lease requirements for the apartments, just monthly rents that include heat, water, security, snow removal, and on-site maintenance. The apartments come with one or two bedrooms, full kitchens, dining and living rooms, private baths and bedrooms, decks, good-sized storage space, and you can find cable television, telephone service, laundry rooms and hookups, and an emergency call system in each unit, plus guest apartments available for visiting family at minimal fees.
Independent living sits at the center of things here, so the community focuses on supporting seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with resort-style amenities like a hair salon, exercise rooms, a woodworking shop, garden spaces, a pool table, and large gathering rooms, along with scheduled social activities, game nights, movies, gardening, and plenty of opportunities for friend-making in the community spaces, and there's no requirement to take on services unless they're needed. When extra support's needed, the community offers assisted living services covering help with personal care, medication management, meals, and daily activities, as well as round-the-clock skilled nursing and rehabilitation like wound care for those who need it, and there's also respite care for short-term stays that give caregivers a break.
Memory care here is tailored for folks with Alzheimer's and other dementias, using secure areas and programs designed to reduce confusion and wandering; those residents get supervision day and night, plenty of memory-boosting activities, and care focused on safety and comfort. The community also works with Kittery Estates, Health Force, Healthforce Portsmouth, Mark Wentworth Home, and Portsmouth Regional Home Health and Hospice, offering a range of health services that include non-ambulatory care, diabetic support, staffing help, incontinence care, hospice, and home health.
Meetinghouse Village doesn't shy away from supporting spiritual needs; there's a chaplain on staff and non-denominational Sunday church services, aiming for an easygoing, peaceful, and welcoming environment where folks of modest means can age safely and with dignity. Scheduled transportation, on-site management, and maintenance take away a lot of the day-to-day stress, and folks can take virtual tours with 360° views online to see the spaces for themselves. Residents can expect a simple, friendly life here, with practical support and company whenever they want it, and storage for their garden tools or woodworking supplies, while spending time with friends, having social gatherings, or just relaxing in their apartments.
