Lilac View Corp

18 Health Care Drive, Rochester, NH 03867
Overview of Lilac View

In Rochester, NH, Lilac View holds a license for assisted living. Assisted living covers the parts of a day that have stopped being manageable alone, bathing and medication supervision among them, while the person carries on living in the community.

At 40 beds, this is a smaller building, and the quiet that comes with fewer people is part of what a family chooses when they pick one. Rooms come in private and semi-private layouts, which makes a room of one’s own a real option rather than an assumption.

Medicaid is accepted, which is the route families reach for when private savings will not carry a stay of any length. Kayla L Bilodeau is the administrator.

A Walk Score of 52 puts the area in the somewhat walkable band. Some outings still work on foot, and the ones that do not have to fit around whoever is driving.

Overview of Brookdale Spruce Wood

Brookdale Spruce Wood offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Durham, NH. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

Residents can choose a studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layout. The two-bedroom option can accommodate a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Respite care provides a short-term stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a companion animal when moving in. Wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in navigating the community.

Restaurant-style dining features seasonal, chef-inspired meals, while activities include a gardening club, happy hour, and social events. A courtyard and garden provide outdoor space, and the on-site salon and spa give residents access to personal grooming without leaving the community. Lynn Underhill serves as the administrator. Starting monthly rates are $4,610 for independent living, $5,875 for assisted living, and $7,300 for memory care, giving families an initial budget point for each care level.

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.

Overview of Studley Home

Serving older adults in Rochester, New Hampshire, Studley Home is a 15-room assisted living community on Eastern Avenue. Housed in a two-story building, the residence offers private rooms and a smaller community setting that emphasizes personalized care and individual attention.

The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 48, making it somewhat walkable. A few nearby services can be reached on foot. However, most errands and appointments require transportation. Families who prefer a quieter residential setting may appreciate the location. Rochester’s medical facilities and everyday services are within a reasonable driving distance.

Studley Home is for older adults who need assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation, as they live as independently as possible. The home’s private rooms and limited number of residents support a more personal care experience than many larger assisted living communities.

Families considering Studley Home should schedule an in-person tour. Visiting the community provides an opportunity to meet the staff, view the resident rooms and shared spaces, and discuss how the home’s services can meet a loved one’s individual care needs and preferences.

Overview of Scott-Farrar at Peterborourgh

The license at Scott-Farrar at Peterborough in Peterborough, NH, runs assisted living, memory care, and independent living. Bathing, dressing, and medication management come under the first of those three. A secured space with staff supervision is the level addressing wandering risk.

The licensed count here is 76 beds, and the administrator is Angela M Pelletier.

A pet may come with a resident. Rehabilitation Services appear on the list, so therapy is arranged in-house. A Salon appears among the amenities, and staffing is available twenty-four hours.

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.
