How We Can Help:

 The community nurse can support you by:
      *Home Visits
      *Phone Calls: (1-802-738-9066)
      *Email: (communitynursethetford@gmail.com)
      *Office Hours: (Every Wednesday from
         1:00-3:00PM at the Upper Valley Pediatrics office
         on the corner of Rte. 113 and Rte. 5 in E.
         Thetford OR  by appointment)
                  
The community nurse can provide assistance in one or more of the following ways: 

• Coordinate care when several providers are involved
• Help elders continue to live safely and stay well at home
• Help follow the plan of care recommended by health care providers
• Link people with community resources and services to enhance daily life
• Reduce individual and family stress related to illness and aging
  
  

The Community Nurse does not provide hands on physical care. If skilled physical care or daily living assistance is needed, the community nurse will help the family explore options with home care agencies such as VNA, hospice care, or individuals in the community. The Community Nurse does not answer emergency calls. The Thetford Fast Squad  provides this service through the 911 dispatch.
