Easter Seals NH provides service-enriched housing options for older adults in New Hampshire, specifically through Champlin Place, an independent living community designed for individuals aged 62 and older. Located on beautifully wooded acreage in Rochester, Champlin Place serves those who wish to live independently in affordable, modern apartment homes. The three-story, secured entry building houses 65 one- and two-bedroom apartments, each designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Residents benefit from contemporary finishes, large windows that bring in natural light, walk-in closets, and full kitchen appliance packages, including dishwashers and microwaves. Each level of the building is equipped with laundry and trash rooms, ensuring convenience for all residents, while amenities like elevators, indoor mail delivery, a community room, and a library foster a welcoming and accessible environment.
Champlin Place is committed to providing affordability for older adults with qualifying incomes, offering one-bedroom apartments ranging from $1,200 to $1,300 and two-bedroom apartments ranging from $1,400 to $1,500. Households with incomes at or below specific thresholds are eligible for these homes, with additional rental assistance available through New Hampshire Housing for those with even lower annual household incomes. The monthly rent covers not only the apartment itself but also essential utilities, including heat, hot water, and electricity, further supporting residents' ability to maintain their independence.
Beyond physical accommodations, Champlin Place stands out for its dedicated support services tailored for adults who are largely independent but may require assistance, either currently or in the future. Residents have access to voluntary services coordinated by Easterseals NH Homemakers & Health Services. These offerings span in-home support, on-site nursing services, personalized care coordination, mental health counseling, and access to an adult day program. Additional support, such as emergency financial assistance, is available to help residents navigate life's unexpected challenges. The property also features outdoor leisure space and on-site parking, contributing to a pleasant and enjoyable living experience.
The sense of community at Champlin Place is enhanced through a variety of social and recreational activities, fostering social connections among residents. The building’s design accommodates those with varying levels of mobility, including five apartment homes that meet standards for accessible design. Champlin Place is a smoke-free environment throughout the property, supporting the health and well-being of everyone who lives there. Through all these features and support programs, Easter Seals NH, as demonstrated in Champlin Place, exemplifies a commitment to helping older adults age in place with dignity, independence, and community connection.
