Funding the Future of Long-Term Care in NH: Are We Ready?
Monday, January 11, 2027
Grappone Conference Center in Concord, NH
The 2027 NH Long-Term Care Summit will bring together the providers, advocacy organizations, regulatory and payer representatives who lead NH’s long-term care system for a public policy discussion. The Summit will feature speakers and panel presentations that uncover the existential funding shortfalls in the State’s long-term care system that must be addressed, creative opportunities that strengthen aging in the community, and an original study commissioned by the Summit's Host Committee that examines these critical funding issues.

Most older adults want to age in place—at home or in the communities they know. As New Hampshire’s older population grows, community design will be essential to helping residents remain independent, connected, and engaged. Many of us have heard the term age‑friendly, but what does that actually look like in practical, scalable ways for New Hampshire’s towns and cities?
This session opens with a national expert describing the building blocks of age‑friendly communities, including accessible housing, reliable transportation, and opportunities for civic, economic, and social participation. Then, leaders from across New Hampshire will share real‑world innovations in health care delivery, transportation, and housing. Together, the panel will explore what is working now—and how communities across the Granite State can adapt and scale these ideas to meet local needs.

Long-term care providers and advocates face a new political landscape following each election. How will this year be different?

Attendees will gain insight into predicted policy trends and practical strategies to prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
