Four in-home care agencies serving Portsmouth, NH hold an active New Hampshire Home Care Service Provider license, as listed in the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services public roster dated August 5, 2026. They are shown in alphabetical order. We do not rank them, because no fair public quality data exists for in-home care agencies and we will not invent a score.
In-home care means non-medical help that lets an older adult keep living at home: bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company. It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.
In New Hampshire, the median rate for in-home care is $40 an hour, about $3,467 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).
The 4 agencies on this list are based in 1 ZIP code; the busiest are 03801 (4 agencies).

Medicare rates home health agencies and hospices, so we rank those. There are no public quality ratings for non-medical in-home care, so these agencies are listed A-Z with their state license, and we do not rank or score them.
Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.
The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
