Membership Categories
Application for Membership
Thanks for your interest in our Association!
Read on for information about becoming a member, including membership categories and
some benefits of membership. For a calendar of events and information about the
Association's leadership, follow the links above.
NH-ARCH has grown considerably in recent years to become a dynamic and professional
association representing residential care and assisted living facilities throughout New
Hampshire. It is the statewide component of the Assisted Living Federation of America
(ALFA), and represents more residential care/assisted living providers than any other
group in the state.
NH-ARCH promotes residential care and assisted living throughout the state of New
Hampshire and works closely with regulators and facility owners/administrators to assure
the quality of living and care for residents in member homes. We provide meaningful
referral services to member facilities for those seeking to find needed care for a loved
one, patient or client.
NH-ARCH is the primary provider of educational forums and programs for those working in
residential care/assisted living. We provide a very active and informative educational
program for the industry. Members can attend these programs at special discount rates that
non-members cannot enjoy. Our popular, fall annual convention and membership meetings
throughout the year also provide an excellent opportunity for learning and networking.
NH-ARCH also prints Residential Care Update three times a year as a useful source
for announcing events and happenings within the Association, and covers items of interest
to those associated with the residential care and assisted living communities of the
state. The publication also serves as a public relations vehicle for the industry. Our
monthly NH-ARCH Member Bulletin is mailed to all NH-ARCH members and focuses on
current and upcoming industry events, happenings, and developments affecting the industry
(i.e.: regulatory changes, legislation, board of director activities, membership meetings,
educational workshops, etc.)
Here are some of the other activities NH-ARCH is also engaged in:
- Legislative and regulatory monitoring, reporting, and lobbying for the industry
- Active public relations programming to enhance the image and professionalism of the
industry
- Strong advocates for our members and the industry
- Liaison to state and federal agency regulators, advocating members' positions
- Maintains liaison and communication with the Assisted Living Federation of America
- Free computerized list-serve program to members as a way to speedily communicate between
members via e-mail
- Website with links to individual member homes
Questions you may have will gladly be answered by our executive office staff
(800-544-0906) or by any NH-ARCH leader. We look forward to receiving your completed
membership application, and hope we can provide you a warm, cordial welcome, and we will
have a long affiliation with you and your facility/organization.
