Nursing Home Facility
25 Ridgewood Road, Bedford, NH 03110
Ridgewood Center is an attractive, three-story brick building located less than one mile from New Hampshire’s largest city of Manchester, within the community of Bedford, NH. Renovations to the Center were completed in 2008. Situated on 12 wooded acres, the Center has a rural setting, and is within 5 miles of two major city hospitals, Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital. Ridgewood’s geographical location makes it extremely accessible and two major highways are less than one mile away. In addition to other services, Ridgewood has a dedicated Transitional Care Unit (TCU) providing short term rehabilitation, wound care, IV therapy, respiratory therapy and pain management.
