New Hampshire In-Home Care by the Numbers
Paying the Monthly In-Home Care Bill in New Hampshire
The New Hampshire median for a home health aide is $7,627 a month (CareScout 2025, based on 44 hours of care a week), 14% above the U.S. median of $6,673. At about $40 an hour, most New Hampshire families start with a few shifts a week and add hours as needs grow, so the real bill is often lower than the full-time figure.
| Type of care | New Hampshire per month | U.S. per month | Share up to $3,845 covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-home care (non-medical, 44 hrs/week) | $7,627 | $6,673 | 50% |
| Adult day care | $2,015 | $2,058 | 100% |
| Assisted living | $8,025 | $6,200 | 48% |
| Nursing home, semi-private room | $12,243 | $9,581 | 31% |
All New Hampshire figures are CareScout 2025 medians. Agency rates vary with the hours, the shift length and whether care is overnight.

Licensing for New Hampshire Home Care Agencies
New Hampshire requires agencies that provide non-medical personal care to hold a license, the Home Health Care Provider license (includes non-medical homemaker and companion services), issued by New Hampshire DHHS, Health Facilities Licensing Unit. Ask any agency for its license number and look it up before the first visit.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
