Hampton Area Community Connections
Though a relatively new member of the Greater Hampton community, we are fortunate to already work with so many local organizations and senior care partners throughout the area who share our values. We are happy to provide useful education and resources, and contribute to volunteer programs and sponsorships that benefit area seniors and their families. We currently work with the following senior groups and organizations:
- Lane Memorial Library
- Hampton Police & Fire Departments
- Portsmouth Regional Hospital
- Exeter Hospital
Public & Professional Education
Cornerstone at Hampton regularly brings public and professional education opportunities to area groups and organizations, including:
- Free presentations and workshops aimed to build an understanding of dementia including The Dementia Experience, Understanding Dementia in the Real World, Brain Healthy Cooking presentations and demonstrations, How to Pay for Assisted Living, and Recognizing & Responding to Senior Bullying.
- Monthly Caregiver Support Group for Alzheimer’s & related dementia – Our group meets the third Monday of each month at 3:00 am. Call or email for details.
We also offer several CEU educational presentations for healthcare professionals and we are happy to come to your office to present them to a group large or small.
Making the Greater Hampton Area Dementia Friendly
The time for a better understanding of dementia is now and we are committed to doing our part to help combat the social stigma and misconceptions surrounding Alzheimer’s and related dementia; It’s a personal and professional passion for us.
At Cornerstone at Hampton, we have been working with local organizations, elder care professionals, police and fire departments and local businesses, providing free, meaningful workshops to discuss and demonstrate the inherent challenges of living with dementia. We believe imparting this basic understanding builds empathy and goes a long way toward making communities more dementia friendly. When the general public can recognize the signs of dementia and practice better communication techniques, it can help those affected feel valued, comfortable and connected to their communities.
We happily take our training program on the road, so if interested please reach out!
