Local, Confidential, Personalized Services

Our staff are NH residents whom are not only involved in their own communities but with state and local organizations whose services are focused on seniors. We are able to provide a variety of local resources for those who need help outside of our placement services.

Dawn Dumont, CSA, CDP                    Director

Dawn established “Opening New Doors” in 2010. She holds a B.S. in Psychology and Business Management and a national certification as a Certified Senior Advisor© and is a Certified Dementia Practitioner. In addition to her background as a Mental Health Outreach Counselor, her CSA designation demonstrates her expertise specific to senior care issues and the dynamics of working with aging seniors. She is actively involved in senior care focus groups and local and state level committees who focus on the delivery of services to seniors and caregivers.

Dawn has gained the respect and trust of her clients and colleagues in providing services and recommendations based on what a client needs and not how it will affect the “bottom line”. She is passionate about easing the frustration families and their loved ones face in finding care and as a result has many clients have become lasting friends long after placements have been made.
