As AARP marks the 10th anniversary of its Livability Index™, we’re shining a spotlight on the Granite State communities that scored highest for quality of life. This web-based tool is the most comprehensive of its kind, rating neighborhoods across all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the services and amenities that make life better for everyone.

More than 168,000 family caregivers in New Hampshire are providing essential care to loved ones—often without pay, recognition, or the support they deserve. Whether you're just starting your caregiving journey or have been walking this path for years, AARP New Hampshire is here to guide you.

In 2021, as the world grappled with the isolation and stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, AARP New Hampshire introduced a simple yet powerful idea: virtual paint parties designed to give caregivers a much-needed break. What began as a creative outlet during a difficult time has grown into a vibrant monthly tradition, drawing hundreds of participants from New Hampshire and across the country.

In the heart of Center Harbor, NH—a town of just 1,000 year-round residents nestled beside Lake Winnipesaukee—something magical happened this summer. The James E. Nichols Memorial Library, a cozy cornerstone of the community, turned a dream into reality thanks to a 2025 AARP Community Challenge Grant.
