Network of Care for Seniors & People with Disabilities is a web-based resource for older adults, adults with disabilities, family caregivers and community service providers.  This online service directory includes information about food, housing, health issues, in-home care and other useful resources. By phone, call the Information & Assistance services:
303-441-1617 (Voice) or
303-441-3986 (TTY). We like to think of it as "Any Door is the Right Door" so that the public can access long-term supports and related services that are seamless and barrier free.

Seniors & People with Disabilities is sponsored by CONNECT!, a collaboration of agencies that include Boulder County Aging Services, a Division of Community Services, Adult Care Management, Inc., Center for People with Disabilities, Boulder Senior Services, Longmont Senior Services, Louisville Senior Services, Lafayette Senior Services and Boulder County Department of Housing & Human Services.  Some of the many consumer friendly features of this site include large print, an online service directory, a library of relevant articles and a legislative link to stay connected to pending legislation that affects caregivers, older adults and adults with disabilities.
