Birch Hill Terrace sits on a pleasant and scenic spot on the west side of Manchester, New Hampshire, and they say it's the area's only Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means people can move in while they're independent and stay even as they need more help, so the campus has cottage-style homes and apartment-style assisted living units with Wi-Fi and postal services, and they keep everything wheelchair accessible so people can get around easily whether they live in a cottage or come to the main building for activities. The community lets residents bring pets, has rooms for guests to visit, and provides transportation for getting around the city or attending off-site appointments, and inside, you'll find a small library, crafts room, lounges, and plenty of spots to relax or socialize. Every apartment or room comes with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cable TV, telephones, and high-speed internet, and people can choose from private, studio, or one-bedroom options, all furnished, with air conditioning and safety systems like a 24-hour call button. Birch Hill Terrace keeps things tidy with housekeeping and laundry services, and if a person needs more support, help with bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around is part of daily care, plus there's memory care for dementia with programs and spaces built to help with confusion or safety.
Meals come from a chef and are offered all day with a flexible meal points program, and they consider special diets for diabetes or allergies, so residents have healthy, enjoyable food in a dining room or restaurant-style setting. The grounds include walking paths, gardens, and space for outdoor activities, and people can join fitness classes at different levels, take art classes, visit a woodshop, or pick from a long list of planned activities, trips, and programs that keep the mind and body active. With a capacity for about 70 residents and 9 skilled nursing beds, Birch Hill Terrace has a smaller, close-knit feel, and the staff cover everything from move-in help to daily needs, including health supervision, incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory support, which means they can keep people comfortable as care needs change, all the way from independent living to nursing care. Some people use home care services for companionship and non-medical needs, and memory support staff put privacy and dignity first, while enhanced assisted living includes private-room care and extra nursing for those who need it. Birch Hill Terrace offers scheduled tours and can share info about available apartments or rooms, and all the main features-like emergency alert systems, library lounges, fitness room, salon, spa or wellness rooms, dining services, and planned activities-reflect a full-service approach, with a not-for-profit, mission-driven background that puts residents at the center without going overboard about luxury but making sure daily life is safe, social, and as easy as possible.
