Overview of Merrimack County Nursing Home

At 325 Daniel Webster Hwy in rural Boscawen, Merrimack County Nursing Home operates 290 licensed beds under county governance, administered by Heather M Moquin. The facility ranked third in New Hampshire by capacity serves residents through Medicare (average stay one month, 24% of admissions), Medicaid (three years typical, 35% of admissions), and private payment (eight months, 41% of admissions). Current residents number 254 across the 290-bed community; a 78% occupancy rate. The setting is heavily car-dependent (Walk Score 0), situated 14.3 miles from downtown Boscawen and 6.2 miles from the nearest hospital.

Financially, Merrimack County reported a $6.6M operating deficit in 2023, despite occupancy recovery from 65.4% in 2022 to 77.5% in 2023. Payroll consumed 95.4% of the facility’s $27.6M revenue (the highest allocation statewide).

Staff totals 491 (313 employees, 178 contractors), with an overall resident-to-staff ratio of 1.93:1. Nursing care averages 5 hours 25 minutes/resident/day (29% above average), ranking the facility 10th among 58 New Hampshire SNFs. Certified nursing aides deliver 3 hours 25 minutes of daily care/resident; 43% above norms. However, weekend RN coverage dropped to 22 minutes/resident (29% below average), and physical therapist hours totaled only 2 minutes/resident/day(50% below average).

CMS ratings reflect strengths in three areas: overall 4-star rating 36.5% above average, staffing 4-star rating 57.7% above average, and quality measures 4-star rating 29.9% above average. Health inspection ratings were 4 stars, marginally above state (6% higher). Yet quality measures reveal concerns: falls with major injury at 5.6% (24% worse than state), and antipsychotic medication use at 21.3% (22% worse than state).

Long-stay residents showed functional improvements in some areas (urinary tract infection rate 70% better, weight loss 25% better, ED visits 61% better) but struggled with short-stay outcomes (influenza vaccination only 56.1%, ability to care for self at discharge 16% worse, successful return to community 27% worse).

March 2023 inspections cited psychotropic medication ordering without proper documentation, medication refrigerator temperature control gaps with expired insulin on hand, and paid feeding assistants assigned to residents with complicated feeding needs.

A substantiated complaint investigation in March 2024 documented a critical resident safety breach: during a fire alarm, the facility allowed a resident to elope. The resident was discovered hours later with severe hypothermia, requiring hospitalization. The same inspection identified infection control failures.

February 2025 routine inspection again cited medication management deficiencies, inaccurate resident assessments, and failure to implement proper barrier precautions for a catheterized resident.

A $16K federal fine was assessed in March 2024.

No immediate jeopardy findings, license suspensions, or payment denials appeared in regulatory records.

Merrimack County Nursing Home facility fits long-term Medicaid-eligible residents and families seeking skilled nursing care in a large county setting with strong staffing presence.

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 186 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.
