A Letter From Our President

Greetings from Havenwood Heritage Heights. Over the past 2 plus years we have been involved full steam in the pandemic. HHH has done extraordinarily well to keep its resident population COVID-19 free and safe. My hat goes off to staff members that have gone well above and beyond and done so many incredible things that the history books most likely will never recount. The staff population and residents are responsible for the spirit that prevails in every aspect of our community. I believe that as you peruse this website you will begin to get a sense of what a wonderful, warm, and multifaceted retirement community we are.

Our rich history is very much a part of our daily lives. Founded by the Reverend Dr. Everett Barrows in the mid-sixties, we were a community ahead of our time. As a mission-driven organization, we gladly accept the challenge of keeping with that tradition by offering only the very finest and most innovative services available.

From our newly created Karen’s Retreat, sports complex and country store to the beautiful views of the Merrimack River to the shining Gold Dome of our State Capitol, we have a great deal to offer. As an accredited Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we strive to serve you and meet your needs in every way possible.

Our History

The vision for our retirement home in Concord, NH began with our founding father, the Reverend Dr. Everett R. Barrows. He and his colleagues envisioned a faith-based, inclusive senior living community where seniors would live in independent cottages with access to supportive assisted living services. We first opened our doors in 1967 with our original Havenwood Campus, New Hampshire’s first independent living retirement community. In 1980, we added our second campus, Heritage Heights.

CARF Accredited Care

Havenwood Heritage Heights is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the only accreditor for CCRC’s in the U.S. To receive accreditation, a CCRC must meet or exceed CARF’s rigorous standards, a bar that very few retirement communities meet. (Only two other CCRCs in New Hampshire are accredited.) Thanks to the amazing commitment on behalf of our staff, our CARF accreditation is a symbol of pride and a sign to residents that we are dedicated to providing the very best care.
