This guide covers elder care coordination and caregiver support specific to New Hampshire (NH). Laws, programs, and resources vary by state, and this page focuses on what New Hampshire residents need to know.

Medicaid Programs

New Hampshire's Medicaid program offers home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers that can pay family caregivers. These programs let elderly and disabled New Hampshire residents receive care at home instead of in a nursing facility.

Eligibility for New Hampshire HCBS waivers depends on the care recipient's medical needs and financial situation. Contact your local New Hampshire Area Agency on Aging for help applying.

Caregiver Support

New Hampshire offers caregiver support programs through the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). Services include respite care, counseling, support groups, and caregiver training.

The New Hampshire Area Agency on Aging coordinates these services at the local level. They can connect you with New Hampshire-specific programs for respite care, adult day services, and home modifications.

Elder Law

New Hampshire elder law covers power of attorney, guardianship, Medicaid planning, and estate planning for aging parents. An New Hampshire elder law attorney can help you navigate these legal matters.

New Hampshire requires court approval for guardianship, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Planning ahead with power of attorney documents can avoid the need for guardianship.
