Choosing a retirement community is a big decision to say the least, but we've found that the decision making process is easier when you can talk about it with RiverWoods residents who have been in your shoes. That's why we're hosting a free luncheon featuring RiverWoods residents answering your questions and bringing important topics to each table. We call these Three-Course Conversations, and our next luncheon is set for April 12, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM.
We highly encourage you to be our guest at this valuable luncheon and learn about life at RiverWoods from those who know it best.
 
Reserve your seat at the table by calling
Diane Burch at 603-658-3014 or feel free to get in touch by email.
 
We hope to see you soon!
 
POSTCARDS FROM THE ROAD: Ski Trip - Bethel, ME 
A lack of snow here on campus didn't stop this hardy group of RiverWoods residents from hitting the slopes at Sunday River. We can neither confirm nor deny the ages of some of the residents in this photo, but one of the skiers says that once they hit 80 years old- ski lift tickets- not to mention vacations and other adventures and trips, can be found "on the cheap!"
This particular trip was part of the popular Road Scholar Alpine Skiing Program. (read more)

The same factors that make New Hampshire a great place to retire, also play a big role in economic recovery. That's according to Ross Gittell, Economist and Chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire. Gittell recently presented his economic outlook for retirement here at RiverWoods. Gittell said we can expect a slow recovery over the next one to two years. In the video clip below, Gittell explains why NH is well positioned for economic recovery.
