Completed in 2004, Covered Bridge Manor is a welcoming community comprising 26 comfortable apartments designed with elderly residents in mind. The facility offers a range of amenities to enhance the quality of life for its residents, including a common room, a convenient laundry room, and a delightful three-season patio area.
The Dover Housing Authority (DHA) is vital in managing this complex. They diligently screen applicants to ensure a suitable and harmonious living environment for all residents. Additionally, the DHA oversees the maintenance of the facility, ensuring that it remains in excellent condition. Furthermore, the construction of Covered Bridge Manor underscores a commitment to meeting the housing needs of the elderly in Strafford County. In collaboration with Strafford County Community Action and other agencies, the Dover Housing Authority actively brought this valuable addition to the community, providing much-needed elderly housing in the region.
