2025-26 Impacting Lives

Too often, people don’t discover care management until they’re in crisis—overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. We know it doesn’t have to be that way. We’re here early, walking with individuals and families, assessing changing needs, and building a plan that brings stability, connection, and dignity at home. No one should have to face this journey alone or unprepared.
At Connecticut Community Care, our legacy of excellence is affirmed through the continuous renewal of our NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) case management accreditation and ongoing, meaningful client and family caregiver feedback. Our dedicated teams are transforming home care management—through personalized approaches and strong community connections. And none of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors, partners and long-time supporters—steadfast champions who lift our clients up, changing lives and renewing hope.
With your support, we lead with heart, compassion, and purpose.

– Sonnet’s CCC Care Manager Amie
Sonnet’s journey has been one of resilience, renewal, and joy. After facing a serious health challenge, she has embraced a new chapter in life—one marked by steady support, meaningful friendships, and countless moments of happiness.
At the heart of her story is her brother, whose constant encouragement and inspiration have helped her rediscover a beloved childhood passion: building with Legos. What began as a simple pastime has grown into something much more—an outlet for creativity, a source of fun, and an activity that strengthens her hand dexterity and eyesight. Together, she and her brother dive into new kits, celebrate completed projects, and share laughter and conversation that fill the room with warmth.
Sonnet is also surrounded by a care team deeply invested in her well-being. CCC Care Manager Amie, along with her dedicated Private Care Assistant through the PCA Waiver Program, brings kindness and consistency to her daily life. Whether helping with housework, preparing meals, or offering companionship, their presence provides not only practical support but also comfort, connection, and peace of mind.
With this strong network of family and caregivers, Sonnet is thriving at home. She moves through each day with a profound sense of gratitude, carrying with her an energy and hope that reflect the strength of her journey and the joy of the life she is living today.


– Michelle’s CCC Care Manager, Rebecca
Michelle lives with her mother, Peggy, and shares a warm, close-knit bond with her extended family, who remain an important part of her daily life. Surrounded by this steady foundation of love and support, Michelle flourishes in her community. One of her greatest passions is musical theatre. Each year, she proudly maintains her subscription to The Bushnell, where she attends shows from her reserved accessible seat—a place that feels like her own connection to the stage and the art form she loves.
Michelle’s sense of belonging stretches back to her childhood summers at Camp Harkness. The friendships she formed there have grown into lifelong relationships, with regular reunions that keep the spirit of camp alive year after year. For Michelle, these gatherings are more than social occasions—they are cherished traditions that remind her of the community she helped build and still treasures deeply.
Her personal commitments extend into advocacy as well. Michelle has become a recognized voice for disability rights, serving on multiple state commissions and advisory boards. In these roles, she offers not only her perspective but also her leadership, ensuring that the voices of people with disabilities are heard in shaping policies and opportunities.
When financial challenges once threatened to prevent her from attending Camp Harkness, Michelle’s network of family and supporters stepped in. Together, they worked to secure community-based grant funding, including a CCC Live Home Support donation. This collaboration ensured Michelle could continue participating in the camp experience that has brought her so much joy, empowerment, and connection throughout her life.
