Families searching for senior living in New Hampshire will be greeted by natural beauty in just about every direction. The Granite State remains a popular spot for seniors, largely for its outstanding scenery, but also for its easy access to the Atlantic Coast and nearby New England destinations. New Hampshire’s main metropolitan area, Manchester, is located in the south-central region, but most of the state is defined by its winding rivers, natural bodies of water, and conifer-covered landscape. Lake Winnipesaukee is a large glacial lake in central New Hampshire at the foothills of the White Mountains. This rugged subrange of the Appalachians stretches into the state’s Great North Woods region and attracts millions of tourists every year with its ski slopes, hiking trails, and climbing walls. New Hampshire may be small in area, but it offers countless opportunities for an active yet peaceful retirement.

Independent living communities in New Hampshire don’t have to be licensed or regulated by a state agency, but they must adhere to local rental laws. However, if an independent living facility shares a campus with an assisted living facility, then the assisted living unit must follow New Hampshire assisted living regulations.
Stand-alone independent living communities in New Hampshire must follow the same standards as any ordinary rental in the state. Therefore, independent living landlords must provide the following to residents:[01]
New Hampshire independent living residents must also follow the tenant duties outlined in their leases, which often include maintaining a clean unit and keeping it in working order.
In New Hampshire, independent living communities must comply with the federal Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This prohibits landlords from discriminating against a resident due to their disability. It also requires landlords to provide reasonable accommodations and modifications to allow residents with disabilities the same rights as any resident.[02]
A reasonable modification is a structural change to a resident’s unit or shared spaces in the independent living community. It allows residents with disabilities full enjoyment of housing and common spaces. Examples of reasonable modifications include:[03]
A reasonable accommodation is a change in rules, policies, practices, or services that allows residents with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy their unit or common areas. Examples of reasonable accommodations include:[03]
