The state is pursuing two projects aimed at increasing services that would allow people who qualify for a nursing facility to remain at home; one at the county level and the other statewide. The goal of both is to delay or defer admission to institutional care, which is more expensive for counties and the state, and may not be the first choice for some people. One project would give a New Hampshire county federal funding to coordinate or enhance services within the community for people who qualify for Medicare and Medicaid.
