Background Statement
As the state designated Case Management Agency in Southwest Colorado, Community Connections provides person-centered services to people of all ages with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities and their families across a five-county region (Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan counties). We serve approximately 900 people annually through three primary programs:
• Case Management: Helps people with disabilities access long term care Medicaid benefits, connect to community resources, choose providers, manage care plans, respond to crises, and mediate provider communication.
• Early Intervention: Provides supports and services to children 0 - 3 years old who need help reaching developmental milestones like crawling or speaking, or have other developmental needs.
• Family Support Services: Supports and strengthens families caring for a loved one with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the home.
These programs provide vital support to keep people with disabilities healthy and thriving within their communities.
