Brook Ridge

Brook Ridge is a 55+ manufactured home community on 3 Mailhouse Road in Hooksett, New Hampshire, and it's got homes set among rolling forested hills, six different floor plans including two bedrooms and two bathrooms, full basements, roomy attics, and big two-car garages, so there's a lot of storage for those who need it, and you'll see some homes come furnished, with air conditioning, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephones already set up, and there's a clubhouse with a fitness center, a kitchen, and space for social gatherings, plus an outdoor events pavilion, BBQ area, plenty of grass, walking paths, a pond, horseshoe pits, bocce ball, a mail center, and shaded areas for relaxing or grilling outside, so folks can always find a spot to sit and visit. The community allows for just six residents in the assisted living building, which means you'll probably get to know the staff and your neighbors well, and for those who need some help, staff can assist with medication, bathing, dressing, meal preparation, moving around, and laundry, and services like housekeeping, dry cleaning, and family support are available. Pets matter here, with one small dog or cat allowed, and there are walking paths and shaded spots so you can stroll with them. Brook Ridge focuses on active adults, encouraging independence with options for help as needs change, offering a schedule full of daily activities like movie nights, music, arts and crafts in the activity room, board games, and special community and resident-run events, plus outings to nearby Manchester, the Mall of New Hampshire, or even Boston. Homes range from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet and are single-family style, each with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and there's mobile homes with lap siding, peaked roofs, and off-street paved parking, most built in 2005, and many have customizable options for finishes or layouts. There's a move-in coordinator to help with the process, staff onsite for upkeep, including grass mowing, leaf raking, and snow shoveling, so no one has to worry about those chores, and the community supports independence while offering care for changing needs, including non-ambulatory care, a 24-hour call system, and supervision for safety. Brook Ridge provides resources like a community report that covers real estate data, home prices, income levels, demographics, and transportation options, and if you want to see what's available, there's a "Notify Me" system and choices to tour or get free info before you decide, and there's even help for getting pre-qualified for a loan if that's necessary. Residents here tend to form friendships and connect at the library, sitting areas, banquet hall, or outside under the gazebo, and the clubhouse is the gathering spot for everything from fitness sessions to holiday meals, with scheduled social, educational, and entertaining events, and comprehensive staff support, helping people keep busy, eat well with allergy-sensitive and chef-prepared meals, and live as independently as possible.
