You're Invited - the Boulders One Year Anniversary and Resident Roundtable
photos: The Boulders Campus at RiverWoods


What would it really be like to make the move to a retirement community?  One year ago, RiverWoods opened The Boulders, and more than 80 people moved in and began forming a community. This is your chance to hear directly from them about what their experiences were like- what surprised them, what was new to them and how they would advise you regarding your own plans. A lively question and answer session will be included, as well as a luncheon and a brief tour.
 

 

 

 

Tuesday, April 19     10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.

 

Space is limited, so call 1-800-880-5280 or email today to reserve a place for yourself and a friend.

 

RiverWoods Named 2011 Business of the Year 
RiverWoods was awarded the "Business of the Year" in the category of health care from The Exeter Chamber of Commerce this month. The award is presented to businesses who have flourished, but have also given back to the communities they serve.

This criteria makes the award particularly meaningful for RiverWoods.  Our residents, staff and board have all earned this award with their commitment to both our RiverWoods community and the Greater Exeter Community. This is what makes RiverWoods special, and I congratulate everyone on this accomplishment.

RiverWoods Residents Publish Book on WWII Photo: "The War We Knew" clippings

75 RiverWoods residents have published a book on World War II, called "The War We Knew; RiverWoods Remembers WWII." The book includes poignant  stories from the home front and abroad and features many personal photographs. Many of the stories have not been told in years. Some of the stories have never been shared. This important book project is garnering interest from media outlets all over the country- in part because RiverWoods residents coordinated every aspect of the book, from initial resident surveys and interviews, all the way to design and final approval. All profits from the sale of the book go to the RiverWoods Benevolent Fund.

The RiverWoods Blog: Into The Wild...

RiverWoods has many hikers, cyclists, snowshoers and cross country skiers who will attest to the fact that our trail system is a granite state gem in all seasons. RiverWoods resident and guest blogger, Bev Tappan takes us into the wild...

Lured by balmy temps in the 50s, Alan and I managed to hike the entire two-mile length of the Woods' trail system aided by our trusty hiking poles (which have saved us from many an inglorious sprawl in our 20+ years of hiking together).


Stopping at the Falls Lookout we admired the foaming whitewater and agreed we would not have wanted to run our canoe through the barely concealed rocks there...
