At-home options:
- Family caregiving – In-home care provided by family members, whether through an informal arrangement or a more formal contract for services.
- Home healthcare – Services provided by nurses, home health aides and other professional caregivers, ranging from medical services (e.g., prescription management, physical therapy, etc.) to personal care assistance with ADLs. These services can be offered on a periodic basis, up to full-time live-in care.
Long-term care facilities:
- Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) – CCRCs offer a “tiered approach” to long-term care for residents. Individuals often enter a CCRC while fully independent with a contractual assurance they will be able to “age in place” by moving from independent living, to assisted living, or nursing home care within the same community. While offering strong amenities and great flexibility, CCRCs generally are a private pay option for those who can afford the expense and are willing and able to plan in advance. Only some CCRCs in New Hampshire accept Medicaid for care.
- Assisted Living Facilities – Assisted living facilities are focused on supporting residents with ADLs, and may offer limited medical supports, such as medication management.
- Nursing Homes – Nursing homes offer care to residents needing more intensive custodial support. In addition to helping with ADLs, nursing homes provide comprehensive, twenty-four-seven care and monitoring.
