The Inn, is a senior living community specializing in providing memory care services, and is located within the Fairview Senior Living campus in Hudson, NH. This memory care community offers specialized assistance and care for residents living with Alzheimer’s and other cognitive impairments including dementia. Their specialized program called InnSights focuses on the residents individuality and uniqueness, while providing them with 24/7 skilled care in a home-like atmosphere.
As part of their memory care services, they also provide residents with assistance with daily living activities, nutrition management including meal provisions, as well as medication management and administration assistance. Additionally, they also provide musical therapy, as well as other therapy services that help promote physical activity and fitness, and cognitive stimulation that enhances or maintains memory health.
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.
Bellamy Fields Assisted Living is one of Dover’s most affordable and trusted senior living homes. Residents of the community are encouraged to have a strong sense of freedom with no shame of being able to receive additional assistance; they can expect a balanced lifestyle of comfort and calmness to be met with full support.
Bellamy Fields residents can live a fulfilling everyday life through the community’s extensive services. Their amenities and services include laundry, transportation, healthy and savory home-cooked meals, social activities, and fitness activities.
Derry, New Hampshire’s North Shore Road neighborhood is home to Assisted Living at Beaver Lake Lodge, a 16-bed assisted living and residential care facility that’s been open for just one year. Getting around without a car is tough here, as the Walk Score is just 4; about as car-dependent as it gets, so very little is within walking distance for residents or visiting family.
Sixteen beds is small, and the building itself is single-story with private rooms rather than shared ones. That means fewer residents per staff member, and likely a more intimate day-to-day rhythm, with less of the sprawling-campus feel that bigger communities have. Being only a year old, it’s also one of the newer options in the area, without the decades-long track record some families look for, though newness on its own doesn’t say much either way.
Two things residents can count on: transportation services for getting to appointments or errands off-site, and organized fitness and recreation activities to keep people moving and engaged. Pets aren’t part of the picture here, so anyone hoping to bring along a dog or cat will need to look elsewhere. Small, new, and built around private rooms in a single-story layout, Beaver Lake Lodge is less like a full-service campus and more like a compact, close-knit setting, one where a smaller resident count and single floor plan could translate into more consistent staff attention for the people who live there.
Clipper Harbor is one of Portsmouth’s trusted and affordable assisted living homes for seniors near Dover. Residents receive personalized care that allows them to obtain the necessary care while promoting an active lifestyle. The vibrant community ensures only the best approach to senior care.

Because the neighborhood has a Walk Score of 72, you can easily handle most of your daily errands without needing a car.
Founded on Quaker principles, the community emphasizes values and social connections rather than focusing only on medical tasks. Even though healthcare is a priority, with an on-site clinic that works with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital, the staff, including licensed nurses and nursing assistants, ensures that you receive the support you need right where you live. If you are recovering from an injury or illness, rehabilitation services are also available on-site.
Daily life is designed to be active and involve different generations, as the campus includes an Early Learning Center where children and residents interact, along with a program for ongoing learning that keeps education a part of your daily routine. With various wellness and fitness classes on the schedule, dining is also focused on shared spaces where you can connect with others rather than eating alone.
Overall, Kendal at Hanover is built for people who want to plan for the future instead of just focusing on one type of care. With its life plan model and partnership with a nearby hospital, it is a great choice for those who value consistency, as you can have one home that supports your changing needs from independent living through nursing care without ever needing to start over in a new place.

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 141 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.
