Connect55+ Londonderry is built around an Independent Living model that can also support residents managing mild dementia conditions. While the community is not a licensed nursing facility, it maintains access to on-site services typically associated with senior apartments and independent living settings, giving residents the option to age in place with minimal disruption to their routines. This structure is intended for individuals who remain largely self-reliant but appreciate prompt attention to evolving cognitive or physical needs.

In addition to its care model, the community has an Activity Director who coordinates daily engagement and keeps a consistent eye on residents’ well-being. Staff members are available to assist with essential self-care tasks—bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting—when those needs arise. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can receive help with transfers, ensuring mobility within apartments and common areas remains as safe as possible.

Apartments vary in size and layout; some include private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option for residents to paint or decorate to suit personal tastes. Because features differ by unit, prospective residents are encouraged to verify the specific amenities in any apartment they consider.

Dining is handled on site with scheduled meals designed to meet varied dietary preferences, while still allowing residents the flexibility to prepare simple dishes in their own kitchenettes if they choose. Staff monitors nutritional intake for those who request it, providing additional support to residents who may face challenges related to mild dementia or physical limitations.

Community amenities include on-site resident parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an exercise room, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, and a library for quiet reading. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
