Nursing Homes & Senior Care in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has 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 statewide average overall rating stands at 3.01 of 5 stars. The directory displays each facility's overall rating alongside its health-inspection and staffing star ratings to provide a comprehensive view of performance metrics.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented reflect the May 2026 assessment period and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. The Five-Star rating represents one data point among multiple factors that influence nursing home selection. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical practitioners all play significant roles in the decision-making process. Individuals should confirm each facility's current rating through its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making reliance on the data for decision purposes.
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.
