RiverWoods Manchester

RiverWoods Manchester Manchester's only Life Plan Community. Located in beautiful Northwest Manchester. Today, we have officially changed our name to RiverWoods Manchester.

For over 25 years, seniors have found vibrant retirement living on a beautiful 29-acre campus. RiverWoods Manchester's mission continues to provide residents with inviting homes, stimulating enrichment opportunities and top-quality health care. With a full continuum of services, residents enter as independent and are able to transition to Assisted Living, Nursing Care or Memory Care, all within th

e same community. In 2016, our community was known as Birch Hill and affiliated with the RiverWoods Group of Exeter, NH, which has brought fresh ideas and resources to the table. RiverWoods Manchester is welcoming adults ages 62 or better into newly renovated homes, in many different floor plans. We are pleased to offer an innovative Type B Flex Contract that is the first of its kind in New England. Contact us to learn more about this unique contract and its significant financial advantages and to schedule a tour.

Full house at our second 2026 Current Events Forum, where Christina FitzPatrick from AARP NH shared insights on Social Security and its role in retirement security. Attendees left with a better understanding of the challenges the program faces and why it remains a topic that matters to so many older adults.

Last week, team members from across the RiverWoods communities came together at the LeadingAge Maine & New Hampshire Annual Conference for a few days of learning, collaboration, and connection with aging services professionals from across New England.

We’re especially proud that RiverWoods was represented not only in attendance, but also as speakers on topics including practical AI tools, how Human Resources and Marketing can partner to strengthen recruitment and retention efforts, and innovative wellness programming.

Thankful for the opportunity to share ideas and spark innovation with other organizations committed to helping older adults live vibrant, connected lives.

Over the past year, we’ve partnered with Sustainable UNH its Climate Action Clinic to calculate our carbon footprint across all RiverWoods communities and establish a baseline for our environmental impact. The students presented their findings to residents at the conclusion of their project, providing early recommendations to guide where meaningful and measurable change can happen.

This summer, we’re continuing our partnership through UNH’s Sustainability Fellowship Program by welcoming a graduate student who will build on the work completed so far. From May through August, this fellow will help gather additional input, refine findings, and develop a formal sustainability plan for RiverWoods.

If you’ve ever had a fitness coach, you might be familiar with the feeling of becoming very interested in going the other direction when you see them out in public. "Oh no," you might think, "I haven't been to their class lately!" Well, our fitness coordinator, Shaunna Mara, isn't that kind of trainer.

Read all about Shaunna's fitness philosophy and how she's revolutionized the wellness programming at RiverWoods Manchester in our latest Humans of RiverWoods.

A “solo ager” isn’t just someone who lives alone—it’s anyone navigating life without a built-in support system, whether by choice or circumstance.

We invite you to join us for an engaging webinar with solo aging expert and author Carol Marak. Through practical insights and a guided self-assessment, you’ll gain clarity about your own preparedness and discover ways to reinforce your self-determination for the years ahead. This conversation isn’t just for solo agers today, it’s for anyone who wants to plan ahead and stay in control of their future.

Plus, we're giving away 10 copies of Carol's book, Solo and Smart. All you have to do to get entered into the raffle is register and attend the webinar!

Wow! We had a full house for our "What Life is Really Like at RiverWoods Manchester" resident panel event. A big thank you to our resident panelists who spoke about their experiences and shared what daily life in our community truly looks like. We think RiverWoods is pretty great, but nothing beats hearing it from the people who live here.
