This year, RiverMead proudly celebrates three decades of serving older adults in the Monadnock Region. Since opening our doors in 1995, RiverMead has grown into a vibrant LifeCare Community where residents enjoy vibrant, fulfilling lifestyles and the peace of mind that comes from knowing future care is thoughtfully planned.
A Vision That Endures
RiverMead was founded by a group of local visionaries who wanted to create something unique for the Monadnock Region — a not-for-profit community offering care-free, vibrant living and security. Their goal was simple: to provide a place where people could age confidently, surrounded by friendship, culture, and compassionate care.
Thirty years later, that vision continues to thrive. Today, RiverMead offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. With engaging programs, wellness opportunities, and lifelong learning experiences, residents enjoy a lifestyle that balances freedom with the reassurance of LifeCare.
Growing with Purpose
Over the years, RiverMead has expanded thoughtfully — adding residences, amenities, and healthcare options designed to meet the evolving needs of its residents. Yet, the heart of the community remains the same: genuine connection, respect, and the promise of excellent care if and when you need it.
Every new resident, team member, and volunteer contributes to the culture that makes RiverMead feel like home. From fitness classes and cultural events to dining with friends and exploring the scenic Monadnock Region, residents thrive and stay connected.
Looking Ahead
As RiverMead marks this milestone, the focus is on the future — strengthening programs, expanding wellness initiatives, and ensuring the community continues to be a trusted resource for older adults and families across the region.
“RiverMead was founded by a group of local visionaries who saw the need for a community where people could truly live well while preparing for the years ahead,” said Lara Shea, CEO. “Today, three decades later, that spirit of vision and vitality continues to guide us as we serve residents and strengthen our ties to the region.”
