Pleasant View Retirement

Pleasant View Retirement stands as a 55+ independent living community found on a large 48-acre property in Concord, NH, right across the street from Concord Hospital, and the place is set on what used to be the home of Mary Baker Eddy, later becoming the Pleasant View Home, so the building keeps some unique Colonial Revival architectural features and a bit of history since parts of it date back to 1927 when it was a rest home, so you'll see things like gazebos, a front gate, and a four-season solarium overlooking fields and woodlands. The whole community focuses on active seniors and offers 72 apartments with a choice of balconies, patios, full kitchens, or kitchenettes, and residents can pick from several floor plans, with individual thermostats in each home which gives some control over comfort, all on a month-to-month lease with no long-term commitment. Residents see daily life made easier by weekly housekeeping and laundry towel and linen services, and there's regular snow and grass maintenance, plus local transportation rides provided around Concord included in the living package, so you don't have to worry about parking either since there are designated spots right at the building. Residents have convenience with free onsite laundry, a beauty salon and barber shop, and an elegant dining room with dinner and salad bar served every night. The property includes a heated outdoor swimming pool for relaxing, a state-of-the-art gym with daily exercise programs, craft rooms, billiards and pool tables, plus social clubs-many people like to use the large sunroom or living room with its wood-burning fireplace, while others spend time outside on walking trails or using the raised garden beds and planters for flowers or herbs. The community enjoys scheduled social, educational, and entertainment activities, and there's a friendly staff always present, with 24-hour security and a focus on helping everyone feel comfortable and at home. The grounds are well landscaped, and residents can enjoy time outdoors in the gardens or just walk along the trails on the 43-acres of fields, woodlands, and parkland. The community is pet-friendly, has a small gift shop for essentials, provides all-inclusive utilities including wifi, heat, hot water, and electricity, and has a library for quiet afternoons. Apartments at Pleasant View Retirement are set up for safety and comfort, and residents can live as independently as they wish, with special amenities and several levels of support available as needed, and you'll see that there are many places to gather with neighbors or with visiting family. The history of Pleasant View, including its time as a private home, a Christian Science church building, and a residence for mental patients before being remodeled into independent retirement condominiums, adds a special character, and the place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so it's not hard to see how it has roots in the community and offers a wide mix of comforts, security, social opportunities, and access to nature for seniors wanting a maintenance-free retirement.
