Memory Care in New Hampshire

Overview of Memory Care in New Hampshire

Families searching for senior living in New Hampshire will be greeted by natural beauty in just about every direction. The Granite State remains a popular spot for seniors, largely for its outstanding scenery, but also for its easy access to the Atlantic Coast and nearby New England destinations. New Hampshire’s main metropolitan area, Manchester, is located in the south-central region, but most of the state is defined by its winding rivers, natural bodies of water, and conifer-covered landscape. Lake Winnipesaukee is a large glacial lake in central New Hampshire at the foothills of the White Mountains. This rugged subrange of the Appalachians stretches into the state’s Great North Woods region and attracts millions of tourists every year with its ski slopes, hiking trails, and climbing walls. New Hampshire may be small in area, but it offers countless opportunities for an active yet peaceful retirement.

Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 25 senior living communities in New Hampshire that provide memory care.

The median monthly cost of memory care in New Hampshire is about $7,100.

How to access New Hampshire memory care facility inspection reports

In New Hampshire, the local Health Officer inspects residential care facilities, including memory care communities. The Department of Human and Health Services doesn’t offer an online search tool to access memory care facility investigation reports. Residents can try asking the Health Officer Liaison Unit for inspection reports on specific memory care facilities by calling 603-271-3468 or emailing healthofficer@dhhs.nh.gov.
