To help people live their best lives at home, Connecticut Community Care leads community initiatives to foster thriving communities where we all can optimize our health and well-being. A statewide innovator and connector, Connecticut Community Care leads the Connecticut Age Well Collaborative.
The Connecticut Age Well Collaborative (CAWC)
The Connecticut Age Well Collaborative is a statewide, cross-sector initiative that fosters aging, dementia and disability-inclusive communities. Delegated by the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity, the Collaborative is leading the state’s livable communities initiative (Section 17b-420a of the Connecticut General Statutes). Livable communities are inclusive, vibrant places where we can all thrive across the lifespan.
Through our statewide campaign, we help communities embrace every age, every ability. We build community authority and value lived experience through our Community Leaders Fellowship. We provide education, resources and support to local government. We celebrate community success. And we lead multi-sector planning and policy efforts.
