Overview of The Boulders, RiverWoods Exeter

The Boulders, RiverWoods Exeter, a 64-bed continuing care retirement community at 5 Timber Ln in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, is administered by Rebecca A May. Opened in January 2025, the community operates as a supported residential care facility licensed by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. It earned the LeadingAge Standing Ovation Award, a recognition reflecting organizational commitment to quality senior services. The facility accepts Medicare but not Medicaid.

The residential model centers on independence paired with flexibility. Units include full kitchens, new appliances, and individually customizable living spaces. Dining operates through a flexible meal points system, letting residents choose when and where to eat across multiple venues; a design that enables varying routines and preferences within a shared community.

The facility provides 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Its specialized memory care program creates an environment where residents living with dementia engage in activities and programming tailored to their specific needs, with an emphasis on fostering connection and well-being. Amenities supporting active living include a salon, spa, raised garden beds for gardening engagement, on-site transportation and shuttle service, WiFi, housekeeping support, and a structured activity calendar featuring art classes, history lectures, and social events. Religious services are also available.

Pet-friendly policies and fully-furnished guest rooms invite family involvement; all visitors sign in and out at reception.

Located 2.3 miles from Exeter’s city center on a car-dependent campus, the community sits 2.84 miles from Exeter Hospital.

The campus-based model and flexible service architecture appeal to older adults who value control over their living arrangements and dining patterns while remaining in a community where care needs can be met without relocation.

Short term rehabilitation provides a temporary stay focused on recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital treatment; Medicare can be used for short term skilled care after a hospital stay, and private pay is also accepted.

An all-day café and market gives residents an on-site place for refreshments or shopping during the day, and pets are allowed for residents who want to keep one with them. A Walk Score of 61 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so residents who no longer drive can make certain nearby trips independently.

Bathing, dressing, and medication management come under the first of those three. A secured space with staff supervision is the level addressing wandering risk. Independent living supplies what the community offers, with no daily care riding on it.

Three levels under a single license mean growing needs do not start a fresh search. Somebody wanting several levels reachable from one address is well-placed.

The licensed count here is 76 beds, and the administrator is Angela M Pelletier.

A pet may come with a resident. Rehabilitation Services appear on the list, so therapy is arranged in-house. A Salon appears among the amenities, and staffing is available twenty-four hours.

Memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing are what Edgewood Rehab and Healthcare Center runs in Portsmouth, NH. Memory care means a locked-in level of supervision, which matters for the resident who gets dressed one evening for a job he retired from decades ago. The skilled side handles the clinical load. Two needs get answered here; those are nursing support or a watched setting for dementia.

There are 156 beds inside. Short-term rehabilitation handles a temporary recovery stay. Some of those exist because antibiotics have to run through a line for six weeks, which is nursing work rather than family work. Residential nursing carries the person whose need for help is permanent.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay each cover care, subject to eligibility and family resources. Nursing time comes out at 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident daily. Patricia Cummings-Robillard is the administrator. A Walk Score of 80 puts most errands inside walking range. What that means is smaller than it sounds and better; going out stops being an event somebody has to arrange, even once a car is no longer an option.
