Community Bridges recently hired Victoria Chapman as the Director of Elder Services, a new program launching this September 2008. The program enables elders to remain in their homes, select their own service provider and manage how and when they receive services.
Under Elder Services, seniors may receive Consumer Directed Personal Care Services that will help them choose their own personal care service provider, whether it is a neighbor, friend or relative and receive assistance with tasks such as housekeeping, help with medications, grocery shopping, doctor’s visits, errands and more. The program allows seniors to remain in control of their lives and maintain their independence.
Chapman comes to Community Bridges from The Birches at Concord, where she served as the Executive Director for the assisted living community for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss. Prior to that, she held various marketing positions for Hillcrest Terrace Retirement Community and Harborside Healthcare-Northwood.
“Victoria’s impressive track record working with seniors, her enthusiasm for challenges and team-based success, will serve her well in this new role” said Roy Gerstenberger, Executive Director of Community Bridges. “Her breadth of experience will help us expand awareness of the Elder Services program in Merrimack County, across New Hampshire and we hope to other states in New England. With our growing aging population, we want to make sure that our communities continue to benefit from their contributions by offering support in their own homes with choice and dignity."
Chapman earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University graduating Magna Cum Laude.
