Dismas Home NH Celebrates Opening of Rochester Home, More Than Tripling Capacity for Women in Recovery and Reentry from Incarceration
New facility will add 20 beds, vocational training, and 24/7 clinical care to meet growing statewide demand
This new Rochester location lets us extend our two-phase model—comprehensive clinical treatment followed by transitional living—into the Seacoast region, providing more women with the safe environment, skills, and support they need to thrive after incarceration.
A Full Continuum of Care Under One Roof
The Rochester Home will feature:
- 20 furnished bedrooms for 90-Day and Transitional Living Program residents
- Commercial kitchen, living, and dining spaces that foster community and healthy routines
- Dedicated clinical and executive office suites for on-site therapy, case management, and workforce coaching
- Recreation and outdoor gardening areas to support physical wellness and restorative activities
- Round-the-clock clinical staff to ensure continuous care and crisis response
We recently held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the near completion of the home. We expect to welcome residents in September 2026.Â
While our ribbon cutting marked an exciting new beginning, our work is far from finished. Before we can welcome our first residents, there are still rooms to furnish, spaces to complete, and essential resources to provide. Through our Courage to Change Capital Campaign, we are continuing to raise the funds needed to fully prepare this Home for the women whose lives will be transformed here.
