State Resources

The Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services provides a variety of social and long-term supports to adults age 60 and older and to adults between the ages of 18 and 60 who have a chronic illness or disability. These services range from home care, meals on wheels, care management, transportation assistance and assisted living to nursing home care. Legal support services, advocacy for disabled adults, information and assistance regarding Medicare, and information about volunteer opportunities are also important support services provided in the community by BEAS. All services and supports are intended to assist people

A critical component of the BEAS statewide delivery system is its community-based provider network; many of these providers are nonprofit agencies. BEAS purchases long-term care support services at the local level, thus reflecting the commitment of DHHS to strengthen the autonomy of local communities and to direct resources to where they are most needed. BEAS staff members are located in 12 DHHS District Offices throughout NH and coordinate services to seniors and adults with disabilities and chronic illnesses who meet certain eligibility criteria. BEAS also has a main office, located in Concord, responsible for administrative support and general program and financial planning.
