Scott-Farrar at Peterborough sits right in downtown Peterborough, NH, where seniors can enjoy independent living, assisted living, and memory care in a calm, natural setting with lawns, gardens, woods, and a walking trail by Nubanusit Brook, so you get that peaceful feel while being close to shops and local attractions, which is nice for folks wanting a bit of both. The community's nonprofit, charitable focus lets them serve residents from all walks and the building itself has accessible entrances and features, though details about parking and outdoor features aren't really mentioned outright, and there's no air conditioning or pet-friendly policy. The apartments come in several styles, including studios, one-bedroom, or larger, and they're designed to be bright and roomy, with upkeep and chores taken care of, so seniors don't have to worry about things like home maintenance or laundry because staff will handle those twice a week, and meals and snacks are prepared every day by chefs with help from planners who pay attention to nutrition.
Assistance is available all day and night in assisted living and memory care, which they call The Gardens, and there's help for those who might need medication management, incontinence care, or support with diabetes, plus they have staff to help with personal care when needed. For health, there's a dedicated wellness team and onsite therapy services-so if someone needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy, it's right there-which really helps for folks who don't want to travel far for care. The building is age-restricted and has full-time staffing in assisted living, a call system, and secure memory care neighborhoods to keep everyone safe, while transportation is provided for medical appointments, making things easier when folks need to get out for care.
The community runs on a clear mission to create an inclusive, supportive space, so there are legal protections in place for gender identity and orientation, both for living there and for everything to do with jobs and accommodations, which means everyone can expect fair treatment and respect. While there's not much mentioned about outdoor spaces like patios or pools or about the actual recreation area details, there's always a full calendar with social, educational, and creative programs, community events, cookouts, and chances to join in on activities, which really helps everyone feel part of something. Folks can access Wi-Fi and internet, there's a salon on site, and they make it pretty easy to schedule visits-tours can be set by appointment, and information is shared through their website and emails.
Scott-Farrar stands as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that keeps a strong focus on caring for seniors who want a high quality of life in a safe and supportive place, with the right support whether someone's still active, needs a bit more help, or is living with memory loss. It's not fancy, doesn't promise everything under the sun, but it's steady and set up to put people and care first.
