Vintage Hill, LLC

Vintage Hill, LLC sits on five grassy acres in Pittsfield, New Hampshire and has a gentle country feel that plenty of folks seem to like, and you'll find it in a renovated 155-year-old New Englander building, which still has much of its historic charm and gives you the sense you're in a real home and not a big institution, with just 10 assisted living units inside for elderly residents who may need some help day to day. Residents get private or shared rooms, each with a half bath, and windows that offer views of the Suncook River, with a big farmers porch, yard space for sitting outdoors, and pathways wide enough if you need a wheelchair or walker. There's a family-like setting here, where the communal dining room serves three home-cooked meals a day, and those meals can match special diets for folks with diabetes or high blood pressure, and the staff, including a registered nurse, watches over medication and health assessments, helping with bathing, grooming, and getting dressed or moved if you need it-even if it takes two people. The staff can help with transfers and handle laundry, linens, housekeeping, and arranging for things like a mobile hairdresser when someone needs a trim. There's basic respite care for short stays, as well as hospice support if required, and a memory care offering for those with cognitive issues. Activities stay simple and familiar, with book rooms, a sauna and jacuzzi, fitness area, salons, game rooms, and group outings to spot like the local library, Senior Center, or Scenic Theater, plus planned nights for movies, happy hour, and music or pet therapy. There's always something going on to keep people engaged, whether it's a workout class or a group activity after dinner, and transportation is available for doctor visits, shopping, or going to church. Vintage Hill, LLC stays privately owned, keeps the mood homelike, and won't overwhelm with too many people, since they're only licensed for up to 11 residents, so you'll always get a sense of being part of a close-knit group, and if you have a pet, you might even be able to bring them, with a few rules to follow, and the staff's always ready to make a personalized care plan to help you keep as independent as possible.
