Overview of Summit by Morrison

Summit by Morrison works from a Whitefield, NH address, with respite care, memory care, independent living, and assisted living on the license. Independent living leaves the schedule to the resident, with no daily care attached. Assisted living covers the specific tasks, bathing, dressing, and medication.

Memory care is delivered inside a secured area with supervision, for a person at risk of wandering. Respite works as a trial run, a short stay that tests a move before anyone commits to one.

All four levels belong to one license at one address. The building holds 62 beds. Independent living comes as cottages and apartments, and assisted living as studios.

Starting prices split by layout, $3,806 for an independent living cottage and $3,859 for an independent living apartment. A family weighing the two therefore has two entry figures rather than one.

A memory care Day Program is named here for structured daytime support, and rehabilitation services are on the list for residents working back toward what they could do before. C Sarah Vaughan-France is the administrator.

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.

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.
