Wentworth Senior Living is a nonprofit senior living community dedicated to supporting seniors' health, independence, relationships, and interests. We provide the opportunities for connection and social engagement that help you maintain your lifestyle and live and engaged life.
Captivating Historic Location
Located in the heart of Portmouth's historic South End neighborhood, we border a vibrant downtown. Residents are free to walk or drive to dozens of restaurants, cafes, shops, theaters, and cultural events. And we're fortunate to occupy a building with a rich history and diverse stories to tell - much like our residents themselves.
Consistent Enriching Engagement
We provide opportunities for residents to create a proud and exciting life to live. Enrichment programming is geared to satisfy the diverse hobbies and interests of our residents allowing them to form friendships and connections with others, and to engage as much - or as little - as the choose.
Our Dementia Support Program
The All Points Program® offers a distinctive, comprehensive approach to memory care for individuals at any stage of their dementia journey. Available throughout our community, it is designed for residents in assisted living with early to mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, as well as those who are experiencing later stages of cognitive impairment in our advanced memory care community, Coveside Commons.
What Sets Us Apart
Memory Care
Our specially trained support staff is able to adapt to the needs of each assisted living resident. Some residents may only need slight assistance with daily activities, such as dressing, bathing, or medications, while others may need staff support for mobility and transfers, nurse intervention for managing complex medical conditions, incontinence care, and supervision of palliative or hospice services. Whatever the particular case, our community is able to adapt to your needs and provide you with the assistance that will help you live a comfortable and happy life.
Our Assisted Living Community consists of 50 Studio and One Bedroom Private Apartments spread over three floors, all accessible by elevator. We offer a high-level skill set that can accommodate a wide range of support needs for our residents. Everything we do is centered around the seniors who are currently living in our community, giving us the ability to empower each resident to live their lives to their full potential each day.
We welcome seniors to try out our community and experience what living at WSL is like. During a short-term stay, the resident will be living in a newly updated apartment, given three chef-prepared meals a day, supported through necessary care plans, protected by our comprehensive security system, and encouraged to participate in our enrichment programming and community events.
My mother-in-law was at Wentworth for several years. I have nothing but praise for the facility and the staff. I never witnessed a negative interaction between residents or staff, who were cheerful, attentive, and flexible, even during Covid.
The place was immaculate, and the staff went out of their way to make the residents comfortable. Nobody relishes the idea of having to reside in assisted living, but if its necessary, the Wentworth is a solid choice.

The staff at Wentworth are absolutely amazing; they go above and beyond for not only the residents but also the residents’ families. Every member of staff throughout the building ensures a caring and supportive environment. My family tried several places before finding Wentworth and they pale in comparison. The building is beautiful and well maintained, and the staff are hard-working, skilled, and compassionate people.

Thank goodness for Wentworth Senior Living! The staff engages all residents in a genuine and friendly way. My Dad could not be happier with the social and physical nourishment! I highly recommend Wentworth to other families searching for a caring, professional and beautifully maintained space.

Wentworth staff is caring and compassionate. They treat the residents with respect and a high level of attention. I’m not sure why there are negative reviews. Our mother is staying at Wentworth and we are impressed with the facility and staff.
Jordan C.
I had such an amazing experience at WSL. I was an Enrichment Assistant and the care at this facility is top of the line. The staff and coworkers create a community of welcomeness, and the management is extremely genuine. The building is beautiful and the events are always great. Each resident is given individual care, and everyone is willing to work together to get things done. Everyone is caring and wants to create a positive environment. I would recommend this place to anyone.
By collaborating closely with residents and families, the All Points team develops and adapts programs that support each resident’s independence, meeting them where they are and evolving as their needs change. The team provides guidance through challenging transitions and equips residents living with memory loss—and their families - with resources to prepare for future care needs.
Grounded in the latest Alzheimer’s Association Dementia Care Practice Recommendations, The All Points Program® reflects evidence-based, person- and family-centered best practices, with every aspect of the program designed to deliver high-quality, compassionate dementia care.
Our Unique Approach
As cognitive abilities change, individuals tend to rely more on instinct and emotion, which is why we prioritize comfort, trust, and a nurturing environment supported by attentive, compassionate, and highly qualified staff. Through a personalized approach, our team meets each resident living with dementia where they are, adapting to their individual realities to reduce stress and provide meaningful support. Using innovative memory care practices such as Habilitation Therapy and Sensory Therapy, our specially trained team helps residents experience moments of success, preserve their dignity, and sustain a strong sense of purpose.
An Adaptive Environment
A memory care community must be responsive to the individual needs of its residents. Some thrive with a structured routine and environment, while others benefit more from flexibility and choice. By tailoring each day to the resident, we create experiences that feel comforting, familiar, and affirming.
Touring our community is the best way to get a feel for life within our walls.
