The Villas at Nashua runs two levels of care under one roof: independent living and assisted living, in a two-story building at 105 Spit Brook Rd in Nashua, New Hampshire. That layered structure matters more than it might seem at first. It means a resident who moves in needing minimal support isn’t necessarily facing another move later if their needs change.

Transportation services are available for residents who need to get somewhere beyond walking distance, and there’s fitness and recreation programming built into the community’s daily rhythm.

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 138 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.
