Ledgewood Commons sits in Raymond, NH, and serves as a senior living community that helps low-income people find housing and also offers a range of care. They have one-bedroom apartments where residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income for rent, and the government pays the rest through HUD's Section 8 program, including heat and utilities, and some funding comes from New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority and other agencies, making rent more affordable for many. Some people have to wait a long time to get in, as there are waiting lists that can last years, but you can call the apartments to check about openings.
Ledgewood Commons provides different types of care such as assisted living, independent living for those who can manage on their own, and special care for those with dementia or memory problems. Staff offer support every day, including help with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed or chairs, managing medicines, meals, and diabetic care, and staff are there around the clock in case someone needs help right away. The community also gives temporary respite care so caregivers can take a needed break. People can pay for care using things like private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, insurance, and the community adjusts rates based on the level of care each person needs.
The apartments come in different sizes including studios, one-bedrooms, semi-private, and two-bedrooms, and the community features shared indoor spaces to help residents meet and enjoy time together. Meal services mean residents don't need to prepare food themselves, and regular activities help everyone stay active and engaged, with things going on both in the building and out in the local area. There are health monitoring services, as well as transportation, hospice care, companion care, and specific names for certain areas and services like "Ledgewood Commons" and "residential care." The staff also assist with moving residents safely and help those who use wheelchairs or have other mobility needs. Ledgewood Commons is one of many affordable senior housing locations under the same organization, and it helps older adults keep their independence while offering a safe place to live and support for daily needs.
