Services
Your retirement is the time to worry less, explore more and enjoy your friends. When you choose RiverWoods Manchester, you’re choosing an active, vibrant life. Without the worry of home-maintenance, driving or even cooking your own meals, you’ll have time to meet new friends, participate in activities right within your community; and make the most of this time of your life.
These are a few of the many services that are offered to our residents:
- Flexible Dining In addition to our Continental Breakfast, our residents are provided with one chef-prepared meal per day (lunch or dinner). These meals can be enjoyed on the patio, or in our Dining Room.
- Enhanced Living Option When you want to remain in your independent home, but you need some extra help, Enhanced Living is available to you. Choose from a diverse menu of services, at an additional fee, and our staff will provide extra help to meet your needs and make life easier.
- On-Site Wellness Clinic Make an appointment, or simply drop in during the clinic hours at our onsite Wellness Clinic. The Nurse Practitioner sees residents daily and coordinates care with your Primary Care Provider.

- Speedy Snow Removal You’ll never have to lift a snow shovel, ever again. Our team quickly clears snow from all sidewalks, parking lots and driveways, as well as removing snow, plowing, and re-parking all cars, so when you’re ready to get out on the road, your car will be as well.
- Safety and Security You’re not alone at RiverWoods Manchester. With our 24-hour emergency response and full-time security, you will always have help at any hour, when you need it.
