NH Interesting Statistics Thousands of people in New Hampshire are caring for their loved ones in the home each day. The following are pertinent national and state-wide statistics regarding home health care. Members of the Home Care Association of New Hampshire provide more than 1.3 million visits per year to New Hampshire residents who are recovering from illness or injury, or who are receiving long-term care in the home. Many of these people did not even know that home care existed before they became home care consumers. In addition to in-home services, member organizations of the Home Care Association of New Hampshire also provide immunization clinics and support groups in many of the communities they serve.
Home care goes the distance to provide care and support in every city and town in New Hampshire.
Staff of members of the Home Care Association traveled more than eight million miles to deliver care in New Hampshire homes in 1998. By adapting these statistics to New Hampshire using data from the 1990 census and the 1996 Almanac, we find that 87,780 households in New Hampshire have at least one unpaid caregiver laboring in them.
