Rockingham Canal House

Rockingham Canal House sits right in Bellows Falls, VT, inside the old and historic Canal House, which used to be the famous Hotel Rockingham, and you can feel that history, but at the same time folks have worked hard to update things with modern touches to help seniors live with safety and comfort, and it's been open and serving people since 1982. The place has 41 one-bedroom units and 3 two-bedroom units, all accessible and adaptable for elderly and disabled residents, and some apartments even have views, which helps make daily life a bit nicer. The rent for these senior apartments goes by income, so you only pay about 30% of what you get, and utilities are included, which makes figuring out bills a little less stressful, and laundry facilities sit on site for easy washing. There's a central community room where people gather for activities or a chat, and the staff, managed by Stewart Property Management with Kathy Relihan at the helm, make sure things keep running and residents have trained and friendly support. There are different kinds of care on offer here-including assisted living, independent living, elder care, rehabilitation, and memory care programs-all with services set up to help folks with different needs and ways of living. There are no units set aside for folks coming from homelessness, but the focus is on affordable homes for seniors and those with disabilities, helping them live as independently as possible. People living here get access to a full schedule with social events, educational programs, and ways to engage with each other, which encourages friendship, keeps minds active, and brings a sense of belonging right into the building. The property has some special features for memory care and has apartments set up with touches meant for daily safety and ease. All in all, Rockingham Canal House serves as a retirement community designed for comfort, safety, and social connection, letting seniors stay a part of their community while living in a place that recognizes their needs.
