Because you deserve more than a list.

Real help. From real people. When you need it most.

Compassion born from experience

A care coordinator sharing information with a group of healthcare professionals
Our team of Care Coordinators are here to make a difference. We’ve watched too many families crumble under pressure, rushed into decisions, misled by call centers, and left to navigate care on their own. Something had to change.

That’s why we built Care Connect: a local, in-person, high-integrity placement service that treats families like family. Free for families. Focused on fit. Run by people who’ve been on both sides of the care journey.
