Nursing Facilities are licensed by the State of New Hampshire's Bureau of Health Facilities Administration under Nursing Facility Rules and Regulations.

Additionally, any facility receiving Medicaid funding must be Medicaid certified. This certification requires compliance with additional rules and regulations that are more stringent and complex than licensure, and occurs annually. A report of findings and the facility's responses are available at every facility.

Medicare funding also requires certification and compliance with additional rules and regulations as above.
