Hillsboro House Nursing Home is a longstanding fixture in the Contoocook Valley region, serving families from Hillsboro, Antrim, Henniker, Bennington, Washington, Windsor, Weare, Deering, Hopkinton, and other surrounding towns for nearly half a century. Distinguished as one of the smallest licensed and certified care facilities in New Hampshire, Hillsboro House offers a unique setting that contrasts sharply with the larger, often more institutional facilities typically found on the outskirts of communities. With accommodations for just 33 residents, this intimate environment allows for a close-knit atmosphere while still providing a comprehensive range of services commonly found in much larger institutions.
The unique charm of Hillsboro House stems not only from its scale but also from its approach to personalized care. Families and prospective residents frequently inquire about the levels of care offered, and at Hillsboro House, the philosophy is that the answer is 33—each resident receives individualized attention and support tailored to their specific needs. The small size of the facility contributes to a familial environment where staff and residents can form meaningful connections, and daily life feels much less clinical and more like home.
Life at Hillsboro House is enriched by a variety of activities and programs designed to engage and delight residents. The calendar is punctuated by special events, such as visits from Wildlife Encounters, during which guests like Derek bring fascinating wildlife to entertain and educate residents. Seasonal occurrences, like the first snowfall that transforms the grounds, are celebrated as special moments that contribute to the warm, homelike atmosphere. The staff, including Sandy, Phalla, and Maggie, play an integral role in maintaining the positive spirit within the home, and even details like the carrot cake from the kitchen are fondly appreciated by those who live there.
This commitment to community and quality of life is at the heart of Hillsboro House’s legacy. For families seeking security, tradition, and a caring environment for their loved ones, Hillsboro House Nursing Home stands out by offering the services of a large institution with the added benefits of experience, personalized attention, and engagement in a true community setting.
