“My husband Eric and I moved into Scott-Farrar from Arizona, during the summer of 2020. We live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of windows and sunlight, which we love. I am enjoying interacting with neighbors through knitting and book club and my sister Ann lives just down the hall from me. Through all the uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt safe at Scott-Farrar and continue to feel safe here. I am so glad we made the decision to return to the Monadnock Region and call Scott-Farrar home.”

Independent Living Resident
“Scott-Farrar truly is a loving and caring community to call home. When my late husband Tom needed more care and support, we moved from Independent Living to Assisted Living. Making this move not only gave me peace of mind but our family as well. During his time in Assisted Living Tom was so well cared for. The kindness and compassion provided by the wellness team made us feel safe and it warmed our hearts.”
