RiverWoods Manchester

I visited this facility

We toured Riverwoods Manchester a few times, and the people were very friendly. It was a really nice-sized facility. There were a good number of activities. One of the things we liked about it is that the independent living was connected to the assisted living, memory care, and the full nursing care. If one of my parents had to go to another level of care, the other one could visit all the time or they could move together. They had a nice variety of units with different sizes and prices. They have a full gym, class…

I visited this facility

I went to Riverwoods Manchester. The independent living is beautiful, it's brand new, they have a beautiful hall, it is top of the line, and it's nice.

Keep Looking

Sunday, the day family visits, is not indicative of the rest of the week. IF you don't believe me, try a Tues. I don't understand the problem. Get better staff and improving food quality and nutritional value can not cost t…

Thinking about Birch Hill ???

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 amazi…
