Easter Seal Society New Hampshire runs as a nonprofit group and works all across the state to help people of all ages, but has special supports for seniors and folks with disabilities, and you'll always find someone in charge like the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and others who handle things like major gifts, marketing, and development, so there's quite a team behind the scenes making sure things run as they should. The group, based on Auburn Street in Manchester, has programs from senior services and substance use treatment to help for veterans and their families, including Veterans Count, which offers case management and emergency help, and there's the Military & Veterans Campus over in Franklin on a fifteen-acre spot with recreation and services for veteran families. The society's Champlin Place over in Rochester offers affordable apartments for people aged sixty-two and up, so folks looking for independence and quiet still have support, and the place is set up with things folks need-furnished rooms, laundry, kitchenettes, gardens, community rooms, and dining with meal help when needed, and staff are around with a 24-hour call system and supervision for safety, which makes everything safer for seniors. The group delivers all sorts of services, such as adult day programs, in-home care like light housekeeping or errands, personal care, and full nursing help, and they keep regular transportation for folks needing rides.
They have support for people living with memory problems like Alzheimer's and even have short-term respite care so caregivers can take a break, which can mean a lot, and for those needing more medical help, nursing and medication management are available. There's help with bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily life, and staff help tailor care to what each person needs, so residents have some level of independence for as long as possible. The group runs programs for workforce development and special education, and even runs camps like Camp Sno-Mo for activities and social time, so children and adults with disabilities have plenty of opportunities for learning and fun too. Easter Seal Society New Hampshire really focuses on service, spending most of the money on direct help instead of overhead, and always tries to fill gaps for those who need it, reaching over 25,000 people every year with help that's designed to be both personal and practical. The group's work goes all the way back to 1936, and nowadays, they try hard to give everyone the chance to learn, work, and be part of the community, with rooms set up for comfort and safety, rules against drugs or unsafe items, and a staff always working to make sure things go smoothly for families, seniors, children, and veterans, no matter the challenge.
