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 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.
