Connecticut Launches New Long-Term Care Information Hub

The Department of Social Services recently launched My Place CT, a long-term care information hub to complement the state’s online health insurance exchange (Access Health CT). My Place CT includes a website, call center, advertising campaign, and career opportunities for caregivers. It helps consumers identify their long-term care needs, shows them how they can pay for care, and links them to community resources, such as housing and transportation options.

In 2015, the website will directly link to DSS’ ConneCT Medicaid website to help seniors determine whether they need health care coverage through Medicaid or the state’s health insurance exchange.
