Hilltop House

Friends Residential Care is the ideal setting for individuals who are still independent, but who may benefit from assistance with the activities of everyday life. Hilltop House provides this alternative living arrangement that combines the best of all worlds.

We offer comfortable private living spaces and well appointed common areas in a lovely Victorian setting. There is a large, well-equipped activity room that overlooks the Connecticut River. In addition, we are located within walking distance of the town common and — for some of our heartier residents — within walking distance of the downtown shopping area.
