The Mill of Milford sits at 40 Bridge Street in Milford, New Hampshire, inside a rebuilt textile mill with lots of history and charm, and the place has lovely views of the Souhegan River and the falls, so seniors who live there often say the big windows and open floorplans make the apartments bright with nice scenery, and the location in downtown means you can watch the river or the hills roll by right outside. The community is designed for people age 62 or older and offers independent living with 45 one-bedroom apartments, five of which are wheelchair accessible, and the rent depends on income, with heat and hot water included, which can really help people on a budget. The apartments have their own appliances, indoor mailboxes, and utilities, so folks don't have to worry about much extra, and non-smoking rules keep the air clean for everyone. There's on-site laundry, a large outdoor deck, and a community room where residents gather for activities like games and meet-ups, and you'll find the staff are well known for being kind and helpful, helping to make the place feel friendly and safe.
People who live at The Mill of Milford get to join activity programs, which are meant to keep people social, active, and engaged in all sorts of ways, both mentally and physically, and there's support for folks who might need a little help with things like taking medicine, dressing, or bathing. There's assisted living right there, along with residential care homes and options for memory care, so even seniors with higher care needs or dementia can find support, and trained aides are available for non-medical care or companionship, depending on what's needed. The facility encourages social engagement with regular events, and the spacious community rooms and outdoor spaces make it easier to meet neighbors or just have time outside if that's what someone wants.
For those who drive, secure resident parking is folded in, plus transportation's available for people who need to get to doctor visits or errands, though sometimes for an extra cost, and wheelchairs fit in the community and in showers, so people with disabilities don't have as many barriers. The pet policy lets residents bring dogs or cats with certain weight limits, since pets often help people feel more at home, and the non-smoking rule means most folks breathe easier. Meals provided follow nutrition guidelines, so residents can count on well-balanced options, and there are on-site maintenance teams working round the clock if something goes wrong with an apartment.
The Mill of Milford won awards for its supportive care and good living environment, and reviews often mention the cleanliness, the well-kept grounds, and the welcoming staff. The building mixes old mill features-think unique angles and brick-with new updates for safety and comfort, and apartments come in layouts to suit different needs. Usually, there's a waitlist, often 3 to 4 years, but it works for those who are willing to plan ahead, and the community accepts applications from seniors and people with disabilities who qualify. With affordable rent, views of the water, and a history that goes back to the textile era, The Mill of Milford offers seniors a safe, friendly place with enough support, activities, and comfort to feel at home.
