Welcome!

Recovering from illness or hospitalization as well as chronic illness and aging can present families with many challenges. Staying at home with the right supports in place is the goal we all hope for as these challenges arise.

The Community Nurse of Thetford, Inc., serves in a unique role in our community to assist those in need. Any Thetford resident is eligible, and services are confidential and free.

Examples of assistance are: 

• coordination of care among multiple health care providers
• teaching and assistance in following health care advice
• medication teaching and help with organizing medications to reduce error
• assessment of safety in the home to reduce risks of falls and injuries
• connections to community resources (transportation, senior meals, visiting nurse agencies, etc)
• family support for issues around aging, chronic illness or end of life

You can contact the community nurse for yourself, a family member or a neighbor. The nurse will contact the person who was referred to make sure they would like to speak to or have a visit from the nurse.
