New Hampshire Assisted Living

New Hampshire is a bit of a rarity in the crowded northeast. While the New England region is notorious for expensive housing costs and healthcare, New Hampshire is far more affordable compared to the Top 5 most expensive states for assisted living.

In fact, the state is several hundred dollars less (based on median monthly averages) for an assisted living room compared to Massachusetts - the next one on the list - which charges nearly $1,000 more than the national average.

Fittingly, you or a loved one can find a high-quality senior living complex in the state of New Hampshire and still receive the same quick access to some of the finest clinics and hospitals in the country.

New Hampshire provides “elderly and adult services” like permanent housing under its Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Those who qualify can receive daily assistance and meals through a licensed provider that is inspected on a yearly basis.

Senior citizens that call New Hampshire home are also treated to a quieter living environment as the state features no big cities, and is far less populated compared to most of New England, like New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York.

The winters are the only drawback to New Hampshire, as they are notoriously rough and long with plenty of snow and chilly temperatures, yet if you can manage a few months out of the year you will really appreciate the other three seasons.

New Hampshire Monthly Costs for Assisted Living

Though the average median for assisted senior housing in the state is higher than the national average, New Hampshire in comparison to the rest of the east coast is relatively affordable.

The average assisted living unit in New Hampshire goes for $4,430 per month, which is about $700 more than the national figure per month. Needless to say, New Hampshire is pricey for assisted living costs, yet when you make it relative and comparable to other states in the northeast, it is slightly more affordable.

The most expensive cities for assisted living in New Hampshire are found in places like Windham, Rye, Bedford, Londonderry, and Exeter. Meanwhile, the cities of North Conway, Newport, and Laconia all have lower senior living costs with rooms that can begin around $4,000 per month, which is reasonable.

The state Medicaid system has a program called Choices For Independence which is related to assisted living costs. The financial aid can help with room and board costs, and exists under the “Adult Family Care” definition under New Hampshire’s Medicaid description.
