Nursing Homes & Senior Care in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is home to 73 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes carry an average overall rating of 3.01 out of 5 stars across all facilities.
The Five-Star rating system provides a relative quality measure, though it carries known limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility receives three separate star ratings—overall, health inspection, and staffing—allowing prospective residents and their families to evaluate multiple dimensions of performance at a glance.
A Five-Star rating functions as one of many factors to consider when selecting a nursing home. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with clinical and administrative staff all play important roles in the decision-making process. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any reliance on the data presented, as ratings may be updated periodically.
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.
