What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lebanon
The city of Lebanon was founded and settled in 1761 and is home to many notable historical landmarks, including the Dana House, which was built in 1765 and is the oldest house in the city. Nearly 14,000 people call this historically rich city home, including a large senior community that accounts for 18.4% of the population. Some in this age group may seek help from one of the area's nine assisted living facilities, including two in Lebanon and seven more in neighboring cities.
In Lebanon, as in the rest of New Hampshire, assisted living facilities are classified as Supported Residential Health Care, which is for residents who qualify for nursing home-level care, and residential care facilities, which provide a lower level of care.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lebanon

While retirement income is not taxed at the state level, Lebanon seniors with investment income may pay some taxes. The state has no sales tax, but property taxes are high.
- The Lebanon area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Public transportation in Lebanon is provided by Advance Transit, which offers five fixed routes in the region. The service operates on weekdays and is fare-free for all riders.
- Lebanon offers a broad spectrum of arts and entertainment options. Local senior centers may offer field trips to local points of interest like the Lebanon Opera House or AVA Gallery and Art Center.
- While the cost of living in Lebanon is about 5% higher than the national average, it is roughly 8% lower than the statewide average, which may make it a good option for New Hampshirite seniors looking for affordable assisted living.
- Summers in Lebanon are pleasant with highs in the low-80s, ranking it among the warmer cities in the state. However, winters are very cold with lows in the single digits. The city gets nearly 70 inches of annual snowfall, which may be a consideration for seniors who rely on mobility aids.
