We partner with the State Department of Social Services (DSS) to connect individuals to professional care management through Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) programs, all requiring qualification. In addition, Sage Solutions, a CCC subsidiary, provides private care management including daily support to help people continue to live at home, most often paid for privately or through long-term care insurance. We also offer specialized care transitions services from all care levels as part of the Connecticut Home Care Program.

We’re committed to helping more than 16,000 people live at home rather than be admitted to a nursing home or other institutional setting. With guidance and helpful solutions, we work to make staying at home a reality whenever possible. Upon approval, we become partners, solution seekers, navigators, and advocates ready to make the process easier on the individual and family.
