Overview of Scott-Farrar at Peterborourgh

Peterborough’s Scott-Farrar community houses 76 residents under a single roof that spans three levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. That range matters for families thinking ahead, since a resident’s needs can shift without forcing a move across town. Angela M Pelletier administers the property at 11 Elm Street.

Getting around the immediate neighborhood on foot is limited. The Walk Score here is 4, solidly car-dependent territory, so most errands and outings call for a vehicle rather than a stroll down the block. Inside, though, the pace of support doesn’t depend on what’s outside the door. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the building around the clock.

Rehabilitation runs in-house too. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are all available on-site, sparing residents recovering from a fall, surgery, or illness the extra step of outside appointments. Transportation to medical visits is arranged for anything that does require leaving the building. Twice-weekly housekeeping and laundry service, plus an on-site salon, cover the practical side of daily living.

Activity programming leans social, recreational, cultural, and creative, filling out the calendar beyond basic care. Residents can also bring their pets, a detail that tends to matter more than it might seem for families weighing a move. Taking the tiered care model, on-site therapy, and steady staffing, Scott-Farrar suits older adults and families who want room to age in place across changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Hampshire

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 139 assisted living facilities in New Hampshire. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Hampshire?

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 New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire?

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.
