Woodcrest Village Assisted Living sits on Main Street in New London, NH, inside a historic building dating back to the 1850s that's now on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, and you'll notice right away the traditional New England architecture which matches the town and gives a sense of home, with lush gardens around the grounds and an emphasis on a real community feel. Since the Brenner family took over Woodcrest Village in 1988, they've grown it from just 12 rooms to 44 private units across three floors, with a central elevator, offering studio and one-bedroom layouts, and they make sure there's parking along Woodcrest Lane and even resident parking available.
Residents at Woodcrest Village can find many activities aimed at keeping folks social and engaged, including their Men's Group meeting every Wednesday morning and the Knitting Group gathering on Thursday afternoons, and there are social hours in a cozy "pub" that used to be the kitchen, arts and crafts classes, exercise sessions, devotional events, and community activities both indoors and out. For quiet time or reading, there are two libraries with fireplaces, and you'll find a bright country kitchen and a large living room where people gather for meals or conversation. There's also a recreation room with an exercise machine, arts and crafts supplies, a large TV, and an internet-connected computer.
Woodcrest Village aims to support independence for each resident, focusing on dignity and respect in daily life, and encourages family members and the wider community to stay involved. They offer a range of care, like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Daytime Adult Care, and Respite Stays, all in a safe and secure setting with help from a nursing staff on site and various therapies like physical, speech, and occupational offered according to need. They also provide hospice and respite care coordination and help with daily personal tasks where it's needed, all while letting residents keep their independence as much as possible. Memory care lives right within the same setting, so people get what they need without moving elsewhere.
Meals come restaurant-style in the dining room, and there are all-inclusive housekeeping and laundry services, plus transportation to local shops, libraries, banks, hospitals, and physician services, so it feels easy to get where you need to be, and pets are welcome to live with residents, too. The Cottages are available as another housing choice, and everything's set up with senior comfort and safety in mind, including wheelchair-accessible showers and a layout that means staying active and involved isn't hard. Beauty and barber services are on site, and there's always a focus on keeping up a gracious, welcoming place where folks can feel inspired, cared for, and at home.
