The Residence at Salem Woods

I cannot say enough good things about The Residence at Salem Woods. They have such a great team to work for and with not to mention the residents are like family! If you are looking for a place for a loved one or yourself definitely give them a call!

When I first walked through Salem Woods with my daughter-in-law, I was impressed with a feeling of welcoming and spaciousness from the folks I saw and areas that I looked at. A smile, a “hello” from people I had yet to meet and make our new home with. It didn’t take long for me to make a decis...

When I first walked through Salem Woods with my daughter-in-law, I was impressed with a feeling of welcoming and spaciousness from the folks I saw and areas that I looked at. A smile, a “hello” from people I had yet to meet and make our new home with. It didn’t take long for me to make a decision and return to Pelham and tell my husband. He was not well and had not accompanied me, but made the effort to come to Salem Woods before we made our final decision together. We moved into our new care free one-bedroom apartment home on July 2, 2021. We have two large windows in the living room and two in the bedroom that look out where we can see our car parked and beautifully landscaped grounds. Plants and flowers are on our windowsills. At Salem Woods we found a dining room open from 7: am to 7: pm where we can order anything from a full and varied menu book, or choose from two daily luncheon or dinner specials including a new soup! One does not go hungry! Meals can also be brought to your apartment, or “to go” as the microwave and stove are available in our kitchen area, along with a refrigerator/freezer which are located near the sink. Keeping our apartment clean is not a problem with a friendly housekeeper coming in once a week, changing our bed linens when we want and then putting then through the laundry for us. If desired, our personal laundry can also be done. Every day there is a agenda of a variety of activities, from wellness, recreational and social. Transportation is available for shopping, outings and appointments. You need a picture hung, maintenance is at the ready for that and more. Need a book to read? One each of the two floors is a library full of various selections. A billiard room is often busy and, in the evening, movies are shown. The safety of residents is covered with 24/7 security and staff. My husband and I came in as Independent residents, but with the knowledge as we grow older we might need to change to Assisted living, should the need arise. The staff here at Salem Woods are great, and make each of us feel special. Waitstaff know your name and once they know your preferences at mealtime, come to get your order with your favorite beverage in hand. My husband passed away this year and everyone couldn’t have been more supportive. It was a comfort to me knowing that once I opened my apartment door there was a support team of Salem Woods staff and the residents outside. We have made many friends with a lot of the residents and now being alone, I have one very special person I am close to.

I can''t say enough positive things about my family''s experience since having a loved one join the Salem Woods community recently. This was our first time time exploring an assisted living option and once we found Salem Woods, we knew we found a home for Dad. Everyone at Salem Woods has been fantastic - from the orientation, the nursing staff, the Resident Care Directors, the facilities and maintenance staff, the food service - all of them. They have made our family feel welcome since day one and going to Salem Woods to visit is now just a natural part of our routine. I don''t think you''ll find a nicer, happier, well-organized and personable place for your loved one in Southern New Hampshire - we''re very happy with our decision.

The Residence at Salem Woods is a top-notch facility for assisted living. The facility is clean, well maintained and has the feel of a high-end hotel versus a hospital atmosphere. The moment you walk in the front door you are greeted by a smiling receptionist, and a pristine lobby entrance. To the left is a sitting room where residents can gather or simply read a newspaper, and directly ahead of you is a small library and sitting room. As you move about the facility you feel welcomed by everyone you meet. By the time my wife and I left after our unscheduled site visit, we knew this was the place for my mother. My experience is mostly with the memory care unit, Reflections. My mom has Alzheimer’s and has started to need daily assistance we could no longer provide. Since moving in I have seen her start to thrive once again. The staff keeps her engaged and active and knows how to calm her when she gets anxious. Their hands on approach and timely responses have been exemplary. I can’t speak highly enough about the entire staff, including the nurses, aids, administration, maintenance, food service and general support. Each person we have dealt with is professional and courteous. I even paid close attention to how the staff interacts with the other residents and it’s obvious they really care. I know that my mom is safe and well taken care of. Their communications with me have been exceptional. I can speak face to face with all the staff to get updates on mom’s care and progress. They also keep me informed through phone calls and frequent e mails, which I really appreciate. If I have any questions I can call or be able to speak directly with the floor nurse who always has the answers to my queries. The same can be said about any of the administration personnel. The aids all know who my mom is and can answer any questions I may have. I feel honored to offer my complete recommendation to The Residence at Salem Woods.

The Residence at Salem Woods was very nice. The girl who assisted me on the tour was wonderful. The people were very nice and friendly. I had a great tour of the facility. We went down to the Memory Care unit, which was very nice. It's just that they had long corridors which would confuse the residents. The residents were doing chair exercises while I was there. They were all in a very nice room and this lady was doing her best, but I don't think they could follow her. Their menu choices were very nice. I did see residents in the memory care eating and they all had an aide next to them, either helping them out or just being there, which was nice. The staff was very pleasant and you could see a lot of them, which I liked.

The Residence at Salem Woods was good. It just wasn't for my mom. She wanted classical music and they had other types of music. Also, the activities that they were offering weren't quite what my mom was interested in, but the facility was very new, so it was very clean and well-kept. They had a salo...

The Residence at Salem Woods was good. It just wasn't for my mom. She wanted classical music and they had other types of music. Also, the activities that they were offering weren't quite what my mom was interested in, but the facility was very new, so it was very clean and well-kept. They had a salon and doctors who could come in and you could have appointments with.
