Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover memory care?

New Hampshire Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
