Attention: An Important Notice about a Telephone Scam

Granite VNA has learned of a scam involving a person or persons who have "spoofed" our main phone number at (603) 224-4093.
 
Spoofing is when a cybercriminal poses as a trusted entity to get something beneficial to them and detrimental to a community member. These cybercriminals are calling community members, and are posing as agency employees attempting to sell Medicare Advantage products. The caller claims they are from Concord VNA, one of our agency names before our merger in April 2021.
 
Granite VNA is not involved with these fraudulent practices and does not make solicitations. Please be aware of this scam, and if you receive solicitations from anyone posing as an agency employee who appears remotely suspicious, please contact us immediately.
 
Please do not respond to these phone calls and do not provide the caller with any personal or financial information.
 

Caregiver Resources

About 38 million family caregivers provide an estimated $600 billion in unpaid care across the United States, according to an AARP report. As a caregiver, you may experience emotional stress, physical and financial strain, and negative impacts on your health while you are providing services. It is important that caregivers are attentive to their own health and self-care needs. Below is information on support and links to resources that you may find helpful.
