Overview of Langdon Place of Nashua

There are two care types at Langdon Place of Nashua in Nashua, NH. Those two are assisted living and memory care. The help in assisted living arrives at a person’s private apartment and helps with bathing, dressing, and medication. A resident enters memory care once wandering has become a risk, and what is needed for that risk is a supervised area kept secure.

Heather M. Macneil administers a community of 105 beds, where a pet may come too. The residences are available as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. A studio amounts to one private space, while the larger of the two separate bedroom layouts suits someone living with a companion.

Overview of The Courville at Nashua

The Courville at Nashua provides nursing home, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Nashua, NH. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident continues living in an apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Respite care gives a family a short stay when the usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Rehabilitation services and temporary rehabilitation stays support residents during a period of recovery. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to a different level of care can happen without leaving the community.

The home has 94 beds. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted, with Medicare applying to temporary skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence. Residents can dine at the restaurant, use salon and spa services, and attend religious services for worship within the community. Jeff C Ekberg serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 57 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot while others may require transportation.

Overview of The Huntington at Nashua

About 2.66 miles from St. Joseph Hospital, The Huntington at Nashua is a 24-bed small, newly established nursing care community on Kent Lane in Nashua’s Ward 8 neighborhood. It caters to occupants needing nursing care, assisted living, or independent living support, offering one- and two-bedroom units. Run by administrator Lisa M. Valcourt, it represents a licensed nursing home at an intimate scale, meaning residents interact closely with staff and one another in a setting markedly smaller than conventional facilities.

For families evaluating the facility’s staffing, registered nurse coverage is at 43 minutes per resident day, with licensed practical nurse hours at 50 minutes, and nurse aide hours at 1 hour 27 minutes daily. When considering fit for nursing care, such figures are worth comparing against your own expectations and local benchmarks. The smaller size means less on-site programming and fewer amenities than a larger community, a trade-off that fits families prioritizing daily staff proximity and individualized attention over expansive activity calendars. The neighborhood environment is somewhat walkable, scoring 26 on the Walk Score scale. A car or arranged transportation is then required for most errands and appointments. The pet-friendly home can matter a great deal for occupants needing their animals nearby.

At just one year old, The Huntington at Nashua is a compact, recently established option for families seeking nursing care capabilities in a small-community setting within Hillsborough County.

Overview of The Baldwin in Londonderry

The Baldwin in Londonderry is a life plan community on Woodmont Avenue in Londonderry, New Hampshire, offering a full continuum of care under one roof. Residents can move between independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, along with hospice and palliative care. That range matters for couples with different care needs and for anyone who wants to settle in one place rather than relocate as needs change. The community has been operating for about seven years and is led by CEO Marlene G Rotering.

Housing comes in one and two bedroom layouts within a mid-rise building, with floor plans ranging from roughly 850 to just over 1,500 square feet. The larger end of that range is generous by senior living standards and gives room for familiar furniture, a home office, or space to host visiting family. Pets are welcome, which is often a deciding factor for people who do not want to part with a companion animal when they move.

Daily life is supported by chef-prepared meals, bi-weekly housekeeping, and transportation services, so residents can hand off the upkeep that tends to get harder over time. Amenities lean toward hands-on interests and wellness, including a library, a wood shop, and an aquatics center. Programming includes arts and crafts, group fitness classes, and seasonal celebrations, which give newer residents natural ways to meet neighbors. Fitness and recreation options round out the week for those who want structure in their days.

The setting sits about 2.2 miles from the center of Londonderry, with shops, restaurants, and government offices in the surrounding area. Parkland Medical Center is roughly a mile and a half away, a practical detail for anyone managing an ongoing medical condition or planning for a rehabilitation stay. With a walk score of 21, this is a car-oriented area, so residents and visiting family will generally drive to errands and appointments, and the community’s transportation services help fill that gap. Families weighing the location may want to see how the transportation schedule lines up with the appointments and outings that matter most to them.

Overview of The Hunt Community

The Hunt Community brings three levels of care together at a single address in Nashua, New Hampshire, offering assisted living, independent living, and nursing care. For families thinking several years ahead, that range matters: a resident whose needs change over time can often stay in a familiar place with familiar faces rather than starting over somewhere new. The community is set in a three story building with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments, and residency begins at age 62.

Location is one of this community’s stronger points. With a Walk Score of 85, the surrounding neighborhood is very walkable, meaning most errands can be handled on foot and many everyday essentials sit within a short walk. The building is roughly 1.3 miles from downtown Nashua, and St. Joseph Hospital is about a mile away, which is worth weighing for anyone who expects regular medical appointments or values quick access to a hospital.

Day to day operations are led by administrator Gloria J. Prunier, with Deborah Riddell serving as chief executive officer. Fitness and recreation programming is part of the community’s regular offering, and transportation services cover trips that fall outside walking distance. Pets are welcome, so a resident moving in does not have to part with an animal companion, something that carries real weight for many people making this transition.

Apartments span a wide range of sizes, from compact studios to two bedroom layouts of nearly 1,400 square feet, giving couples and residents with more belongings room to settle in comfortably. Taken together, the combination of a walkable Nashua setting, a continuum of care under one roof, and named on site leadership makes The Hunt Community a practical option for someone who wants their housing to accommodate changing needs without another move.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Nashua, NH

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Hampshire?

Assisted living in New Hampshire supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Hampshire?

Assisted living in New Hampshire is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover assisted living?

New Hampshire Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Hampshire) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 14 assisted living facilities in Nashua, NH. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Nashua, NH?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Nashua, NH, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Nashua, NH?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
