Aging Answers

Connecticut Residents Need Answers!

Finding long-term care, supports and services is complicated. Similar to healthcare, long-term care is difficult to navigate.

Recommendations and resources depend on several factors: personal preferences, financial resources and eligibility, and the level of care needed.

Sometimes a list or a website just isn’t enough. When you have questions call on Aging Answers.

Facilitating Pathways – No Dead Ends

No one wants to hear, “That’s not my department” when seeking help. Aging Answers gets it right – with a unique triage system and connections to the Department of Social Services, the State Unit on Aging, and federal and municipal resources. We offer the most comprehensive guidance and access to support.

Integrating – Not Replicating

Connecticut’s information systems help residents navigate support and services. The United Way’s 211 hotline offers lists and referral resources for savvy clients. However, the typical client does not know what type of services they need – skilled versus custodial, agency versus self-hired? Many clients are surprised to learn they may be responsible for the cost of in-home care. Aging Answers helps clients navigate a payment source.

Building Capacity – Not Complications

MyPlaceCT offers instruction and examples of typical home community-based services. Financial eligibility is described in general terms. Aging Answers could complement MyPlaceCT to offer the one-to-one consultation needed to make informed decisions.

Social Determinants of Health and Healthcare Outcomes

Nutrition, healthcare access, housing, assistive technology, caregiver supports, personal connections and economic security are essential to the health and well-being of a person. AgingCT provides access to many of the social determinant interventions that support healthy aging.

Promoting Equity

Not all communities receive equal access to care and long-term supports. AgingCT will use a data mining system to identify underserved communities and focus outreach to enhance and provide access to people in these communities.
