5 Best Independent Living Communities in Merrimack County, NH

My mother stayed at this home for a few months prior to her death. The staff here treated her as their own mother with love and tenderness. Make no mistake they know their jobs and do them well but the human touch is never forgotten. I highly recommend the place!

I’ve lived here, in a lovely cottage, for two years and could not be happier! The caring and very supportive staff wants us all to be healthy and active at every level. There are activities in all categories, and if there is something you want that isn’t already established, the staff will help you get it. I’ve met some of the nicest people here, staff and neighbors. My best friend of 62 years lived here and recently passed away. I can’t imagine what more anyone could have wanted as far as caring, supportive and, yes, loving help that she received during her last months. I thank Taylor Community so much for easing her last months. We have a lot of fun here, music programs, individual raised bed gardens, walking paths, a gym, exercise pool, French club, crocheting, birthday parties, at least one day trip a week, hiking, a movie theater and more.

I have been a resident of Birch Hill for almost two years. During this time BH has undergone many changes and renovations. For some who have been here for years, it has been a challenge. The changes greatly improved new units and common areas (dining area, all purpose room and fitness area and hallways). The dining is outstanding. We have a new (excellent) fitness program that offers programs for multiple levels of ability. There are many ways that they make daily living as easy as possible. The staff here is amazing. They are friendly and very accommodating. The residents are also very friendly. Moving to Birch Hill was a great decision for me.
