Ledgewood Bay Assisted Living sits on a quiet hilltop in Milford, NH, where the building looks out over peaceful forests and there's a calm feeling throughout the place, and walking through the landscaped paths or sitting in the cozy living room with the sun coming in the big windows is something many residents enjoy. The apartments come in several types, like private rooms and studios, all the way up to two-bedroom units or semi-private options, and each one has its own kitchenette, so residents can have some independence when they want it, though room service is also available. Pets are allowed, as long as they meet the community's guidelines, and there are plenty of walking areas for both people and animals around the grounds.
Residents can choose among three main care options: independent living for seniors who want a maintenance-free home and plenty of activities, assisted living for folks who need help with daily things, and Avita Memory Care, which has extra support for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia. The staff is there at all times, always able to help with things like medication, managing diabetes, or personal care, and they also offer skilled nursing, hospice, and respite care as needed, so families know there's help on hand when it's needed most.
The kitchen staff makes meals from scratch, using different menus every day, and the dining rooms give the feeling of being in a restaurant, with private spaces for gatherings or special diets like low-sodium, gluten-free, or low-sugar, and even organic meals when asked. Residents can join in on movie nights in the theater, bake together, attend art and yoga classes, or take part in lectures and events brought in from outside the building, and there's always a music group or game night happening in the community rooms. Housekeeping, laundry service, linen changes, and maintenance are all taken care of, so folks don't have to worry about chores.
There's free high-speed Wi-Fi and a computer area for anyone who wants to keep up with family or news, and transportation services are included for trips to appointments or outings around town. Religious services, a salon and barber, an onsite pharmacy, and in-house physical therapy round out some of the more practical supports. The community is friendly and described as supportive, with staff known for being joyful and kind, and residents have given it a review score of 7.7, which suggests people find the place welcoming. Many programs are focused on helping everyone live an active and social life, and the staff try to make daily living safe and secure, while still letting people keep their independence as much as possible. Ledgewood Bay has even received awards like Best of Senior Living for its care and support, though the main draw seems to be the promise of a vibrant, engaging lifestyle with all the basics covered and some lovely touches for those who want them, set against a backdrop of pretty New Hampshire woods.
