🌸 What a blooming success! We had a fantastic time at our Flower Arrangement Workshop with Jayne, Owner of Flowers by Leslie, who brought stunning florals and expert guidance to help everyone craft the perfect bouquet. Thank you, Jayne, for filling the room with beauty and joy!

✨ We’re grateful for the partnerships that make these memorable moments possible. Our class was full, and the smiles said it all!

🎨 Up next: Join us on June 18th at 3:45pm for our free Watercolor in the Garden class (weather permitting, inside if rainy). With patriotic themes to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the USA, it’s the perfect lead-up to July 4th!

Our community events are open to all seniors, their friends, and family—including those on our waitlist and guests from the greater Seacoast area. We’re proud to support our mission as a nonprofit, bringing people together for new experiences and friendships.

For those moving into Coveside Commons, our advanced memory care, they will be welcomed with a cozy WSL fleece blanket. 🤍

WSL was invited to be a part of Portsmouth’s 2026 Memorial Day Parade. This year marks the USA’s 250th anniversary of independence. This day recognizes the bravery of those who lost their lives defending our country. We were very grateful to be included in this year’s recognition. 🇺🇸

We are thrilled to celebrate the heart of our team! Last Wednesday, February 18th, we honored Allison Kuhn, our All-Points Program® Supervisor, as the recipient of the Joan P. Nickel Award at our annual Staff Appreciation event.

Allison was nominated by her peers for her exceptional leadership, unwavering support for residents, and tireless dedication to WSL’s mission. As the leader of our memory support team, she goes above and beyond every day, guiding residents within both the assisted living community and our advanced memory care, Coveside Commons. Allison embodies respect, teamwork, and every core value that the Joan P. Nickel Award represents.

This special event was all about Allison—from the beautiful sunflowers and delicious sushi to smoothies, music, and more. We are so grateful for her compassionate spirit and the positive impact she has on our organization.

As we wrap up another year at Wentworth Senior Living, we reflect on the unique challenges, incredible opportunities, and time with new and familiar faces filled with laughs, hugs, tears, and everything in between.

This holiday season, we’re proud to share just a few highlights of how we wrapped up our year:

-WSL joined the Portsmouth Holiday Parade with friends, family, and residents aboard our new bus (note to self: bring even more candy next year!)
-Going to the Strawbery Banke Museum with our residents for the annual Candlelight Stroll was unforgettable. We sponsored a tree, fully inspired by our residents, with the theme of “peace and hope,” adorned in doves, rich blues, and gold.
-The Kittery Estates Choir filled our halls with festive cheer.
-For the second year, we had the privilege of participating in Meals on Wheels’ Santa for Seniors program.
-Our staff was stuffed full of sugary goodness during our staff appreciation holiday get-together, with much thanks to Sweetened Memories in Durham!
-Lastly, HUGE shout out to our extremely talented dining team for putting together another TASTEFUL holiday party for our residents. Everything was beautiful!

Here’s to the joy, connection, and memories we’ve shared—and to an even brighter new year!

We have so much to be grateful for this season. To our incredible residents, our dedicated staff, vendors, providers, community members, families, and friends who make Wentworth Senior Living the place it is... THANK YOU! 👏

We were ecstatic to be able to support the Portsmouth NH Senior Activity Center's Thanksgiving Luncheon last week. Over 300 made-from-scratch cookies were delivered to local seniors. And they were delicious!! 😍 Shout out to Jon Silva, our Chef Manager, for his hard work.

We hope everyone can take some time this week and do with it as you wish. Relax, spend time with family and friends, eat good food, and maybe squeeze some shopping in?

The year is almost over, but not quite! You have enough time to remind someone you love how grateful you are for them. From us to you, Happy Thanksgiving.
