Riverglen House, founded in 2002 and part of Willow Ridge Senior Living, sits along the banks of the Ammonoosuc River in a peaceful spot that gives residents river views and easy access to Littleton's Main Street. This community, sometimes called The Village at Riverglen, offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with private or semi-private suites that often include kitchenettes and private baths, plus different floor plans like studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. People who live here get support with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication management, meals, and laundry. Staff are available 24 hours a day for emergencies and to help with care, and there's an emergency call system in all apartments and bathrooms, including personal pendants and pull chains. Apartments and common areas have wide hallways and wheelchair accessible showers, so folks who use wheelchairs or need mechanical lifts get the help they need. Seniors here can age in place, which means they don't have to move if they start to need more care or hospice care. There are services for short stays, called respite care. A separate secure building called the memory care community houses individuals who have Alzheimer's or other types of memory loss, with trained staff, exits with alerts, and a safe outdoor space for those who wander. Both the assisted and memory care areas offer wellness help like diabetes support, incontinence reminders, and bowel and bladder care.
Meals are made fresh three times daily in a restaurant-style dining room, with vegetarian options and daily dessert choices, so residents don't have to cook. Common spaces include indoor and outdoor areas, a big library with internet, a country kitchen, an activities room with a big-screen TV, solariums on every floor, a hair salon for men and women, and parking for residents. There's a spa, an onsite beautician, and a bookmobile visits with new reading options. Scheduled activities fill the calendar-exercise classes, games, cultural and educational programs, devotional services held on and offsite, and wellness and fitness groups. Residents can use the laundry rooms or get help with laundry and housekeeping, and transportation is available for a fee to help people get to appointments or shopping, plus the building is close to bus lines. Policies don't allow smoking in public or indoor areas, and pets are allowed. The community encourages an active and healthy retirement and helps residents keep their independence with personalized care plans. Outdoors, people enjoy riverfront spaces and gardens for relaxing, while inside there are lively gatherings and quiet nooks for reading and hobbies. The staff help create a safe environment for every stage of aging, with special support for those who need it, so residents can get the help they want while staying connected with daily life.
