New Hampshire: CMS Rating Breakdown
New Hampshire currently has 73 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.01 out of 5. By ownership type, the state's facilities break down as follows: 45 for-profit facilities, 16 non-profit facilities, and 12 government-operated facilities. These figures represent official CMS data from the current rating cycle.
The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations and should be understood as a broad state-level indicator rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility. When evaluating a specific nursing home or making decisions about care placement, prospective residents and their families should consult the detailed per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile on the CMS website. The Five-Star rating is not intended as medical, financial, or legal advice and should not be treated as such when considering options for ongoing care.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
