Mission

The Mission of The RiverWoods Company at Exeter, New Hampshire, a not-for-profit corporation, is to maintain creative and secure continuing care communities that enrich the freedom of senior living while easing the challenges of aging.

Commitment

• A supportive community providing to its residents amenities and services that promote wellness, independence, security, and enjoyment, while providing healthcare as appropriate.
• A cooperative community where residents, trustees, and staff are partners in friendly, open communication, and where staff are given ample opportunities for professional growth.
• An active community in which a stimulating environment encourages personal growth.
• A secure community where quality of service is carefully monitored and long-term financial strength is ensured.
• An accepting and responsible community that participates in the life of the larger community around it.
• A forward-looking community dedicated to remaining at the forefront of excellence in senior living.

Accreditation

The ability to collaborate in the pursuit of common goals helped The RiverWoods Company earn accreditation from the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) in 1998, just four years after RiverWoods at Exeter opened its doors. Only 10 percent of CCRCs throughout the country are accredited. To maintain excellence in the delivery of services to seniors, RiverWoods routinely assesses its performance through a program of self-study conducted by its board, residents, and staff. This assessment was designed by the American Association of Homes & Services for the Aging (AAHSA) and enables an organization to measure itself against predetermined quality standards.
