Four Winds Community Iona House sits in a small, quiet neighborhood at 1172 Gibbons Highway in Wilton, New Hampshire, and has room for just five residents, so folks get to know each other and feel like family pretty quick, and with a staff that's awake all day and night, there's always someone to help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and even eating if someone needs a hand. The place has assisted living and board and care services, and offers specialized support for dementia, memory care, and Parkinson's disease, so people who need extra attention get it from caregivers trained for those needs, and everyone gets monthly nurse visits, regular health checkups, medication management, and tailored care. Each resident has a choice between studio suites, one-bedroom apartments, or a shared room, with features like pull cords, keypad entry, and secured apartments for peace of mind, and all the apartments have basic cable, internet, and utilities included, plus the staff takes care of laundry, cleaning, and any repairs that come up. Folks can eat together in the dining room with restaurant-style meals, and if someone follows a special diet, a staff dietitian plans menus just for them, plus there's a cooking area for group activities and sometimes even private dining for family gatherings.
Residents stay active with daily events, games like cards and bingo in the games room, creative arts, therapy sessions, and cultural or off-site group outings, and there's always something going on, whether it's movie nights, chapel services, technology classes, or just walking the paths outside. The grounds have a garden, walking trails, and manicured paths for fresh air and exercise, and inside, everyone can use the library, fitness center, therapy room, or just relax in the spacious living room. There's a beauty shop, barbershop, and massage therapy for people who like to be pampered, and everyone gets help getting to doctor's appointments or anywhere else thanks to free transportation, plus moving in is a bit smoother since the staff helps with relocation and moving assistance.
Safety's important, so there's 24/7 security, falls management, emergency alert systems, and help for those who need incontinence care or hands-on support with transfers and showers. Pets are allowed, so folks don't have to leave their companions behind, and family members are welcome during flexible visiting hours-plus there are family support groups and regular meetings, so everyone stays in the loop about their loved one's care and community. The small, medium-sized community helps people make friends, feel supported, and enjoy better quality of life, while health and personal needs are closely watched and coordinated by staff who know everyone by name. All these pieces come together so seniors can live with dignity, stay as independent as possible, and feel comfortable and cared for throughout their days.
