The city of Portsmouth is known as a great walking town, with daily walking tours, historic buildings, and beautiful scenery for all to enjoy. One historic building is Wentworth Senior Living’s Pleasant Street Mansion. Originally built in 1763, the mansion changed hands among several prominent Portsmouth families after the Revolutionary War to eventually become a care facility for chronically ill children and seniors in the 1900s. Since it was founded in 1911, our organization has dedicated itself to fostering community and caring for our residents. Today, the expanded mansion makes up one of three seamlessly connected buildings the residents at Wentworth Senior Living call home.
