Holiday Birch Heights stands as a senior living community with a craftsman-style look and a small-town charm, right near restaurants, shops, and healthcare offices in a quiet area. The grounds have walking paths, lovely gardens, and places to sit outdoors where you can enjoy the fresh air, stroll with a pet, or chat with a neighbor under some shade. There's a big dining room where chefs serve three homestyle meals a day, and you can reserve a private dining room or use the resident kitchen for gatherings. Apartments come in studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom floor plans from about 374 to 1,150 square feet, and some units have modern kitchenettes, walk-in showers or tubs, private patios or balconies, self-controlled heat and air, and washers and dryers on every floor for easier living.
Residents at Birch Heights find indoor spaces like a library, TV and game rooms, a fitness room with classes like Tai Chi, a communal kitchen, and a salon with both beauty and barber services. The Engage Life program sets out a busy calendar of arts, music, crafts, games, holiday events, book swaps, religious and cultural activities, and volunteer chances. Social groups make use of the community center, activity and lecture rooms, and there are offsite trips as well. All indoor and outdoor areas are smoke-free, and guests can join for meals or stay the night, with pet-friendly rules letting residents bring some pets if they follow the guidelines and care for the animal themselves.
Holiday Birch Heights covers many services such as weekly housekeeping, linen cleaning, trash removal, maintenance, and scheduled transportation for shopping or appointments around Derry. Residents get access to internet in common spaces, rooms wired for cable, locked mailboxes, elevators, and a parking lot or garage. Safety stays top of mind with controlled building access, emergency alert systems, fall prevention efforts, and trained staff around. Wheelchair accessible units and handicap features include showers with safety rails and options for barrier-free apartments. Individuals only pay for extra care if and when they need it, and various home health and medical services like therapies and medication help can be arranged through outside providers.
The community accepts adults 55 and over, men and women alike, and doesn't accept Medicaid, but does allow long-term care insurance, private pay, and some other options. The staff speaks English and Spanish and gets ongoing training. Some apartments don't have full kitchens but do offer kitchenettes, basic cable, and outdoor views. Residents can join devotional services, religious study, or counseling onsite or offsite, and there's extra help for things like VA benefits or getting care from a home agency. The place puts a focus on easy living, plenty of things to do, and comfort, with a mobile emergency device given to each resident for quick help when it's needed.
