"NYConnects:  Choices for Long Term Care Services"

Our Mission at the Franklin County C.A.R.E.S. Unit is to provide easier access to Long Term Care (LTC) for all disabled adults and children, and for elderly persons needing assistance. 

Using a "one-stop shopping" approach, C.A.R.E.S. serves as the Point of Entry for long term care in our county.  When a consumer or their representative contacts our office, we provide reliable information about the LTC services that are available, and make every effort to connect people who are seeking care to the agencies and service providers that can best meet their needs. 

C.A.R.E.S. is currently participating in an effort by New York State to improve the public's awareness and knowledge of our long term care systems.   This project is called NYConnects:  Choices for Long Term Care.  Learn more at http://www.nyconnects.org/
