Medicaid in NH

In New Hampshire, the cost of bringing care into your home, care within a licensed Assisted Living Program or care within a Nursing Home Facility may be covered by Medicaid for those that financially and medically qualify. The Home and Community-Based Care program, also known as Choices for Independence (HCBC-CFI) is the Medicaid Program that offers a variety of home and community-based services, including care within a licensed Assisted Living Program, that a chronically ill elderly individual may need in order to prevent Nursing Home.

The 2016 financial eligibility guidelines for The Home and Community-Based Care program (HCBC-CFI) limits remain unchanged from 2015 and are a gross monthly income of $2199.00 or below and no more than $2500.00 worth of assets per applicant. In addition to financial eligibility, applicants must meet medical eligibility. “Opening New Doors Senior Living Placement Services is able to direct families to In-Home Care agencies and Assisted Living Programs that accept the Choices for Independence benefit.
