Regency at Methuen is a gated senior living community built for adults aged 55 and over, and people find homes there that are easy to live in and don't need much upkeep, which a lot of folks like because the places have master bedrooms set on the main floor for better access, and homes come in both single-family villas and townhomes under the "Villas" and "The Villa" names, where you'll see features like two or three bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, attached two-car garages, cathedral ceilings, and fireplaces to keep warm during the winter, plus oak cabinets in kitchens, dark granite counters, and stainless steel appliances, all blending a bit of modern style in with the comforts people expect. Some homes have hardwood in living spaces, carpeting in the bedrooms, and big windows so there's always natural light, and people get unfinished basements for storage or an extra room, and though homes are sold out now, the ones there sit across 240 residences all together, so there's always someone around, with a real sense of neighbors nearby.
The community itself is centered on a large clubhouse, and that's where a lot of activity happens, with a state-of-the-art fitness room, places for games and cards, arts, billiards, group movie nights in the theater, and spaces for social parties, all meant to help residents keep busy and make friends if they want to. People like to join in with activities such as tennis matches, bocce on the court, swimming or relaxing by the outdoor pool, joining group excursions to places like the Merrimack River, local golf courses, or The Loop for shopping, and tending to the community garden, plus there's paved trails for walking, so folks who want to stay active can do so easily, and it's also true that some activities are resident-run, with clubs and parties happening when members make the plans.
Regency at Methuen takes care services and well-being seriously, so staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transferring, and managing medicines, with personalized care plans set up to fit what each resident needs, and there's memory care and assisted living services too, so people with different needs get support, plus there's wellness programs and health monitoring to keep an eye out, and a twenty-four-hour call system and supervision for safety, in case anything happens at any hour of the day, while transportation services make sure folks get to medical appointments or group outings safely, even if they've stopped driving themselves. The community has controlled-access gates and security features for peace of mind, and parking spots for those still driving, plus housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, concierge support, and dry cleaning all make everyday chores lighter.
Dining options show up as all-day dining, restaurant-style meals served in a dedicated dining room, menus that suit different dietary needs like diabetes-friendly or allergy-sensitive foods, meal prep by a professional chef, and snacks or meals available at different times, plus they let residents eat with friends if that's what's wanted. Rooms and homes have amenities like private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and kitchenettes, with furnished units available for those who prefer it, and condos tend to offer features that make them comfortable for older adults, like wall-to-wall carpeting in bedrooms and most master bedrooms on the main floor. The grounds offer outdoor common spaces, walking paths for strolls, beauty and barber salon services, spa rooms, a business room, library, and arts or activity spaces for more creative folks or those who want a quiet spot. Regency at Methuen is connected to nearby communities offering higher-level care or rehab for those who might someday need more help, and respite care is there for temporary stays or breaks for caregivers, but for most, it's a place where people choose an active, low-maintenance life and get whatever level of support they need as those needs change.
