The Baldwin

Chef Ben, Mike, and Ashley recently hosted a spring-inspired Chef’s Dinner for a dozen appreciative residents at The Baldwin. The multi-course menu highlighted fresh seasonal ingredients including asparagus, ramps, scapes, country ham, rabbit, roasted lamb, and even a poached quail egg. Each course was beautifully presented and complemented with expertly paired wines. Thank you, Chef, for giving us such a delightful culinary experience.

When you need to step away from caregiving duties to look after your own health, take care of personal needs, or travel for work, an event, or vacation, a respite stay can provide the support your loved one needs while you’re away. Whether it’s for a few days or a few weeks, they'll enjoy a warm, welcoming environment with compassionate, dignified care, enriching programs and The Baldwin's world-class culinary services — and you’ll return rested, recharged and ready to be the best caregiver you can be. Some people also find respite stays are a great way to take a "trial run" of Orchard Inn's assisted living or memory support services. To learn more about the benefits of respite care for both you and your loved one, read our blog post: https://thebaldwinnh.org/why-respite-care-is-important-for-seniors-and-their-caregivers/

When Ed and his wife Julie were searching for a Life Plan Community (CCRC), they chose The Baldwin before it was even built. Fast forward to today, and that leap of faith has turned into a lifestyle that’s everything they hoped for and more. Julie plays the ukulele, loves knitting and stitching with fellow residents, and assists with the Zentangle class. Ed served on the committee that formed the resident council bylaws and ran the general store for almost a year. He now enjoys daily walks, hiking, and gardening. He even teaches a juggling class!

In fact, Ed loves The Baldwin so much that he recently made a surprising decision: He had The Baldwin logo tattooed on his arm. “I think it’s a beautiful pattern and it called to me. I decided that was what I wanted to get because I am going to live here for the rest of my life. No regrets!"

One of the most common refrains heard from residents at Life Plan Communities like The Baldwin is "I should have done this sooner!" For Kathy, The Baldwin's youngest resident, moving in sooner rather than later has given her no regrets — only a full and active life, new friends, and peace of mind about the future.

The weather outside may be frightful, but inside The Baldwin it’s always delightful. Residents never have to brave the elements to go to the fitness center, swim in the heated indoor pool, take an art class, attend a lifelong learning program, or have dinner with friends. Everything is easily accessible in climate-controlled comfort. (And did we mention underground parking?) So, why not leave the shoveling to The Baldwin team while you enjoy the winter season? And if you want to venture out for a little snowshoeing, there’ll be a spot by the fireplace ready when you return.

Unlike a traditional assisted living community that can feel isolating and institutional, the small-home model for assisted living offers an intimate environment designed for connection and engagement. With no long hallways to navigate, it’s easy for residents to participate in the life of the household. And with fewer residents per household, it’s easier for residents to build meaningful relationships with their neighbors and team members. To learn more about the small-home difference, read our blog post, “The small-home model of assisted living explained.” https://thebaldwinnh.org/the-small-home-model-of-assisted-living-explained/

The Baldwin celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with live tunes from our guitar‑strumming friend and his leprechaun sidekick, delicious St. Patrick’s Day specials in our restaurant, and plenty of green outfits to go around.

The “Lucky Clover Martini” and “Shenanigans Sour” kept spirits high, and our hearty corned beef and cabbage dinner brought everyone together.
Cheers to good food, good friends, and a whole lot of Irish cheer!
