Wentworth Senior Living

Wentworth Senior Living is a nonprofit senior living community dedicated to supporting seniors’ health, independence, relationships, and interests. As an independent nonprofit, we are able to easily accommodate and adjust to the needs of our residents.

We strive to keep our community comfortable and supportive. Residents’ apartments are quiet and inviting, common areas are cozy and home-like, and support is provided in a discreet and respectful manner.

Like the city of Portsmouth, Wentworth Senior Living has a storied past. Both our building and our organization have lasted the test of time, and while we honor our history, we look out toward a progressive future. Our commitment to helping seniors live better lives longer guides every business decision we make.

Our community is able to accommodate a wide range of assistance for our residents. We take a personalized approach that empowers residents to live their lives to their full potential.

Our living spaces include private one-bedroom or studio apartments. Each apartment includes amenities such as a tea kitchen, full bath with accessible shower, and intercom communication/alert system. Wall-to-wall carpeting in a neutral color, privacy window blinds, central air, and basic cable television are standard features which, together with your personal furnishings and decorative touches, make the space a true home.

All of our living spaces include the cost of housekeeping and laundry services, three meals each day in the dining rooms, and access to enrichment programs and transportation.

Communal spaces around the building provide myriad options for hosting family, socializing with friends, and enjoying activities.

Our specially trained support staff is able to adapt to the needs of each resident. Some residents may only need slight assistance with daily activities, such as dressing, bathing, or medications, while others may need staff support for mobility and transfers, nurse intervention for managing complex medical conditions, incontinence care, and supervision of palliative or hospice services. Whatever the particular case, our community is able to adapt to your needs and provide you with the assistance that will help you live a comfortable and happy life.

Our calendar of programs is designed to be flexible and resident-driven. The goal of each activity is to fully engage and enrich our residents’ days. Our staff encourages physical and mental exercises that stimulate the senses and encourages residents to spend their days participating in the activities they enjoy.

We understand that health changes often come unexpectedly. Our staff can adapt to your needs and assist you, even if situations change. Our Age in Place philosophy allows residents to live a stable and secure life in our community, without fear of having to move again.

At Wentworth Senior Living, our community of seniors and staff are the heart of our physical building. We focus on enabling seniors to continue—and extend—the hobbies, relationships, and routines that define what it means to be at home. And we’ve designed our building to feel like a place you’d want to call home: personal, intimate, and comfortable—never clinical.

Located in the heart of Portsmouth’s historic South End neighborhood, we border a vibrant downtown. Residents are free to walk or drive to dozens of restaurants, cafes, shops, theaters, and cultural events. And we’re fortunate to occupy a building with a rich history and diverse stories to tell—much like our residents themselves.
