Merrimack County Nursing Home

Merrimack County Nursing Home, located at 325 Daniel Webster Highway in Boscawen, New Hampshire, is a publicly governed skilled nursing facility operated by Merrimack County. Positioned along the historic Daniel Webster Highway (Route 3) in the heart of the Merrimack River valley, this facility serves seniors from across Merrimack County with the full scope of skilled nursing services—delivered with the accountability and transparency that county governance provides. Boscawen is a small, historic town situated just north of Concord, New Hampshire's state capital. Concord Hospital—one of the state's premier regional medical centers and part of the Capital Region Health Care system—is approximately 10–15 minutes south on Route 3, providing residents with ready access to comprehensive acute care, specialist services, and emergency medicine. This proximity to a major hospital is a meaningful advantage for a skilled nursing population with complex and evolving medical needs. The Merrimack River runs near Boscawen, and the surrounding landscape reflects the quintessential character of central New Hampshire—rolling farmland, wooded hillsides, and a quiet rural pace that supports rest and recovery. Just south of the facility lies Canterbury Shaker Village, a National Historic Landmark and one of New England's most celebrated cultural destinations, which families often enjoy visiting during trips to the area. The New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, located just east off Route 106, is a regional landmark drawing visitors from across New England. For everyday convenience, Concord's downtown and commercial corridors—including Market Basket, major pharmacies, and a full range of retail along Loudon Road and South Main Street—are easily accessible. The state capital's cultural resources, including the New Hampshire State Library and Concord's dining scene, mean visiting families have ample options close at hand. As a county-operated institution, Merrimack County Nursing Home is governed in the public interest, with a particular commitment to Medicaid-eligible residents who need skilled nursing care near their home communities. Staff are recruited from the greater Concord region, bringing local knowledge and community ties to their daily caregiving work.
