Strengthening Community Health & Connections | |
The One SouthCoast Chamber's Business Builders Breakfast was hosted this month by Community Nurse at Ground Floor Coffee in New Bedford. The event was a great way to bring together local professionals in a welcoming, community-focused setting where attendees can build meaningful connections, engage in guided networking, and strengthen cross-industry relationships while learning more about Community Nurse’s long-standing mission as an independent home healthcare provider serving the SouthCoast since 1916. | | | | Tickets available starting August 7 | |
Join us on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Century House in Acushnet for Shine On—an evening of great food, sing-along music, silent auction, and fun featuring The Flying Ivories Dueling Pianos.
This special night supports over 1,500 patients annually, helping Community Nurse continue to provide essential care and services.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
At Community Nurse, we believe every older adult deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and safety. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which was recognized on June 15 this year, shines a light on the importance of protecting and supporting elders in our community and raising awareness about abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, and isolation.
We encourage everyone to check in on older loved ones, listen, stay connected, and help create a community where elders feel valued, supported, and safe.

Please also take a moment to read the informative blog written by Erin L. Nunes, Esq. of Surprenant, Beneski & Nunes P.C. to learn more about recognizing the signs of elder abuse and how we can all help protect vulnerable older adults.
Together, we can help make a difference
