Who We Are
Formed in 1974, the Home Care Association of New Hampshire membership includes both not-for-profit and proprietary agencies located in New Hampshire and neighboring states that are licensed to provide home health services in New Hampshire. Member agencies provide services for thousands of New Hampshire residents of all ages who are recovering from surgery, injury or illness, have chronic or terminal illnesses, or other conditions needing support at home.
Our Mission
The Home Care Association of New Hampshire is a membership organization which enhances the ability of agencies providing home health care to deliver quality services to New Hampshire residents. The Association carries out this mission through education, networking, research, leadership, and public policy advocacy.
