The Woods at Merrimack Retirement Community offers Independent Living backed by a range of on-site clinical resources. Residents have regular access to speech, occupational, and physical therapists without having to leave the property, and a visiting podiatrist and dentist handle routine foot and oral care. Licensed nurses are available for health monitoring, and the community coordinates any additional staffing and ancillary services a resident might need, so day-to-day wellness support remains intact even as needs change.
Beyond scheduled therapy sessions, the community keeps residents connected to the broader healthcare network. Staff arrange transportation to outside physician appointments, manage prescription deliveries, and provide follow-up assistance after medical visits. Emergency response systems are monitored around the clock, and wellness checks are performed as requested. This integrated approach allows residents to remain in an independent setting while still benefiting from organized medical oversight.
Apartment choices range from ground-floor units with private patios to upper-level residences with balconies, each outfitted with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable or satellite TV connections. Select floor plans add full kitchens, wheelchair-accessible showers, garden views, private baths, or direct access to outdoor common areas; however, not every accommodation includes every listed feature. Shared spaces include a beauty salon, library, computer or media center, TV lounge with a central fireplace, multiple meeting rooms, and secure parking.
Dining is designed for flexibility. An anytime dining program lets residents eat on their own schedule, while a professional chef prepares all-day menus that can be enjoyed in the main restaurant, the casual café, the bar-style pub, or a private dining room set aside for family gatherings. International cuisine, guest meal options, and made-to-order selections are standard, ensuring that personal preferences and dietary needs are addressed.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity calendar that features on-site and off-site programs such as yoga and stretching classes, fitness sessions in the swimming pool, Wii bowling tournaments, live music and theater performances, art and cooking classes, educational speakers, intergenerational events, trivia, brain-fitness software, gardening in raised beds, community service outings, and holiday or birthday celebrations. Residents can join happy hours, dances, karaoke nights, and pet-focused programs, and the library and computer lounge stays open for lifelong learning or casual browsing.
