What do our residents have to give up when they move to RiverWoods?

Active and Care-Free Retirement Living

Imagine — a life without the cares of housekeeping, fixing the roof, or shoveling snow. A life with like-minded friends, and abundant options for activity just outside your door. A life where fresh, scratch-made restaurant-style meals are made for you every night.

At RiverWoods Durham, you can lead the same independent life you lead now, only better.

Best of all, RiverWoods Durham offers you the security of guaranteed access to high-quality health care, should you need it in the future. We are centrally located in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, just minutes from the coast, near scenic Portsmouth, and with easy access to Boston.
