Rivermead

150 Rivermead Road, Peterborough, NH 03458
Overview of Rivermead

Rivermead sits on the water in Peterborough, New Hampshire, a 92-bed community built around a continuum of care: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all under one roof. The neighborhood is car-dependent (Walk Score 4), so getting to errands or appointments generally means driving rather than walking out the door.

That continuum structure is the community’s defining feature: residents can shift between independent living, assisted living, and memory care as their needs change. They don’t have to pack up for a new address each time they need a different level of support. For a family trying to avoid repeated moves as a parent ages, that matters more than almost anything else on the page.

Riverfront views and walking trails run through the property, giving residents a reason to be outside beyond a scheduled activity. There’s an indoor heated pool with structured classes, so swimming isn’t limited to warm months. A calendar of cultural events rounds things out for residents who want something social or creative to look forward to.

Rivermead reads as a fit for older adults who want to settle somewhere once and stay. The continuum runs from independent living through assisted living and, if it comes to that, memory care, all in a riverfront setting built for that kind of long horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Hampshire

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Hampshire?

Assisted living in New Hampshire supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Hampshire?

Assisted living in New Hampshire is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover assisted living?

New Hampshire Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Hampshire) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 139 assisted living facilities in New Hampshire. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Hampshire?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Hampshire, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Hampshire?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
