Bowman Place at Olde Bedford sits in Bedford, New Hampshire, in a three-story shingle-style building that gives off old-world charm and houses a nonprofit community operated by Senior Living of Bedford, a 501(c)(3), with a dedicated volunteer Board of Trustees that keeps high standards for quality and financial integrity, and while there's not much information available about the place itself, it offers assisted living for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, but don't need full-time nursing, and it also has memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with safe spaces and special programming to reduce confusion and keep folks engaged physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually, so there's always someone around since they keep both a twenty-four-hour wellness staff and nursing staff for twelve to sixteen hours a day, and they go out of their way to make sure residents get personalized care plans from a wellness team that listens to individual routines and preferences.
The apartments give options, from studios all the way up to two-bedroom spaces, with features like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and Wi-Fi or high-speed internet, plus some added touches like handicap accessibility and a welcome for pets, while the common areas cover everything from game rooms, libraries, and a fitness center, to outdoor gardens and walking paths, and there's always something to do with their Enriched Life Program and Signature Activities, whether folks want arts and crafts, movie nights, music, outings, cultural programs, or spiritual support, and for those who like a social meal, the dining room serves chef-prepared food made from seasonal ingredients, with restaurant-style and all-day dining, and they make sure to meet special dietary needs like diabetics or allergies.
Residents can park for free and catch rides with the community's transportation if they don't drive, and there's help with laundry, housekeeping, and move-in coordination, plus an emergency alert system for safety, and the staff supports family needs too, so while Bowman Place at Olde Bedford doesn't shout about itself, it seems to quietly cover the basics, welcoming seniors who want care, companionship, pets, and support all in one place that tries to feel like home with just a bit of old-fashioned dignity.
