A vibrant and active community for senior living
The Holiday Birch Heights team in Derry, New Hampshire was fantastic. They understood our family situation and needs. They were able to address our concerns of moving from a single-family home, downsizing significantly, with the anticipation of meeting new people, and the desire to engage in a vibrant and active community. Our questions and concerns were promptly answered with helpful detail and examples regarding transition, financial outlook, and the amenities and engagement opportunities in this active and vibrant community. This was decidedly the right choice for our family members.

Long term resident.. 8-9yrs
There were things that those of us who have been here long term loved that are now gone. For example.. the library we had was full beautiful, now it is only 4 book shelves. The Chapele we had with the beautiful cathedral ceiling is now a puzzle room... the artwork that was remakes of classics have been replaced with abstract modern art. Before the building had a warmer feeling. Now the building is so cold. I still enjoy the residents and staff even though this no longer feels like home. I am happy living here and not about to leave, just wish they had not made so many drastic changes.

Comfortable
I came from a different facility that was very classy. This was a more comfortable, cozy and warm facility to me which is why I chose to move here. The staff goes above and beyond there required duties. The servers are all cheerfull, polite and friendly.

I am quite happy here frankly. this was in the top tier of senior facilities that I visited before I made my decision to move here. I am very happy that I can come and go as I please. The freedom that I have while living here has been amazing. This feels more like an apartment for me instead of senior living.

Content Resident
The people and the staff have been friendly and welcoming to me since I moved in. I feel bad for the overworked kitchen staff, I feel they need to hire more staff to support the kitchen. I like to have freedom to choose what activities I participate in, or choose to stay in my own apartment. My favorite activity here is karaoke.

A new sociable resident perspective
I moved in to Holiday birch heights only a few weeks ago. The meals and activities have helped me to socialize with other residents. So far they have all been friendly and welcoming. I was living alone before and as the sociable person that I am this is a superior living situation for me. I extremely happy living here!

Staff is excellent.
Cleaning staff does a great job as do the servers. Food is very good, especially considering that the cooks have to restrict the menu to accommodate people with restricted diets.
If I have a complaint, it's that, sometimes communication between the management and residents is not as timely as it could be.

Would Recommend
The staff are willing to go above and beyond to make sure all the residents get the attention they need. There are many activities including bus trips that my Mother enjoys. They pay attention to each persons needs, and safety.
The down fall of the building is there is only one elevator

only 1 elevator for the whole facility. Crowed at meal times. Yes, we would recommend Holiday Birch Heights to other families based on the experience. As long as they understand the elevator issue. They were wonderful to us when my father in law passed.

Our Uncle's pleasant community experience
Layout for leisure activities is perfect; opportunities for outings, enjoyment and gatherings are abundant. I would absolutely recommend this community to other families! as long as they do not require daily nursing care and assistance with ADL's in which they would need private duty nursing. Fox Rehab on the premises is great. It was perfect for [name removed] as long as he could maintain independence and we appreciate the BH staff sincerely

Holiday Birch Heights review
My overall experience was positive but one minus was having to park my car outside - definitely a minus in the winter. There are a small number of garage spaces but these are only available if a resident dies or moves and the waiting list is long. Also there are four floors and only one small elevator. Poor planning on the architect's part. Very clean, well-managed facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. This is really a good facility for people who are still ambulatory. I noticed too many people who were moving in when they were really in need of more assistance than was provided. Meals were excellent and dining was fine. However if one needs to have meals delivered to their apartment there's an extra charge. The meal schedule wasn't good for me. Breakfast hours were too late for me because I needed to be at my parish by 7:30 so I had to make my own breakfast. Activities were well-planned and interesting but I didn't have time to engage in many of them. This facility is not a good choice for someone with limited resources. The monthly rent was raised when I lived there and it proved to be too much for some of the residents and they had to move to a different place.
I really liked the staff at Birch Heights and the apartment was nice. However I found it a bit too "cliquey" for me. That's not unusual for congregate living but too many people didn't seem to have a group that welcomed them and invited them to share a table or an activity.
Birch Heights works best for folks who are ambulatory (With or without a cane, walker or rollator) but might not be good for an elderly person who needs support services unless their insurance covers those needs). That's what makes these decisions so difficult for families trying to make a good choice for a loved one without a support system. I know my experience was different because I was still an employed person. I'm glad that you're there to help people make an informed decision for themselves or a loved one.

Holiday at Birch Heights Independent Living.
Holiday at Birch Heights has just the right community for our Mom. She moved up here, her home state of NH, from her condo in Florida, where she was close by one of our sisters and her family.
With the support of our larger family up here, Mom acclimated quickly!
One important note: Mom and I found the ‘happiest’ residents are those who have ‘regular’ family visits.

Wonderful Facility with Great Staff; highly recommended!
It's a very comfortable and inviting environment for the value...easy to interact and make new friends with so many different types of age levels and abilities of residents there. Core management & activity staff is amazing and works very hard to ensure residents are welcomed and encouraged to interact and participate in various fun activities. Food service could use some help as they become short handed but this is always an area of need in long term care...the management never hesitates to pitch in and help in the dining room to get meals out as quickly as possible. Also if my uncle needs additional help with individual care or cleaning there are a few very wonderful ladies who are available in the building nearly every day seeing other residents, it's an extra fee, but not unreasonable. Also they have Fox Rehab who has an office onsite to assist folks coming out of hospital who may need additional help to get stronger without even having to leave Birch Heights!
