Overview of Hillsboro House Nursing Home

Andrew Irwin owns and operates Hillsboro House Nursing Home, a 33-bed skilled nursing facility located on School Street in Hillsboro, New Hampshire. To cover resident costs, the billing office processes multiple payment methods, accepting Medicare alongside standard insurance and continuing care financing choices. For visitors, the surrounding rural neighborhood carries a low walkability footprint, meaning family members will generally rely on a personal vehicle to travel to the property or manage errands.

The property maintains a steady population of 26 residents, representing a 79 percent occupancy level. This smaller census supports a specific clinical workload split between short-term post-hospital rehabilitation and specialized dementia care. To manage these daily needs, around-the-clock staffing provides an average of 3 hours and 49 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day, which includes 49 minutes from registered nurses, 21 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 2 hours and 30 minutes of hands-on support from nurse aides.

Official health department records indicate that the property functions within standard public health and environmental guidelines. Oversight logs confirm that the smaller-scale facility maintains a consistent compliance track record across its clinical and safety inspections, resulting in an overall cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Prospective representatives will find a small-scale community setting designed for manageable medical oversight and behavioral memory support. Meals are individually prepared to meet therapeutic diets and specific medical requirements and served in a centralized dining room.
