SERVING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN SOUTHWEST COLORADO SINCE 1985.
At Community Connections, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full, meaningful life and thrive in the community they call home. Each year, we help more than 1,500 people across Southwest Colorado—from infants and young children with developmental delays to adults with disabilities and older adults with complex care needs—access the services and support they need to live life on their own terms.
Your generosity makes this work possible. Every gift helps us meet the growing need for our services, strengthen families, promote independence, and build communities where people of all abilities belong.
Together, we can create a more inclusive Southwest Colorado where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
“My family could not have made it through this last year without the support and care of Community Connections. At a time when we had no idea of what to do, they stepped in and helped us make a plan. With their help, our son is now meeting his goals and surpassing them. We feel much more hopeful for his future.”
“Community Connections helped me find balance as a parent, so I can care for my daughter and still fill my own cup.”
“My case manager has helped me to live independently. She checks on me to make sure things are going well. I feel so fortunate to have such a knowledgeable, caring case worker. She goes above and beyond.”
Founded in 1985, Community Connections is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting people with disabilities, developmental delays, and complex needs to the resources they choose to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. We envision a world where all people fully belong, contribute and thrive.
As the state-designated Case Management Agency for Southwest Colorado, Community Connections helps people of all ages with disabilities, developmental delays, and complex care needs access the services and support they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Each year, we serve more than 1,500 people across five counties: Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan.
Our work encompasses four primary programs:
• Case Management: Helps people with disabilities and older adults navigate long-term care Medicaid benefits, access community resources, choose service providers, coordinate care, and receive the support they need to remain as independent as possible.
• Early Intervention: Helps infants and toddlers from birth to age three who are experiencing developmental delays or have other developmental needs. Through individualized evaluations, service coordination, and connections to appropriate services, we help children build essential skills and support families during these critical early years.
• Family Support Services: Strengthens families caring for children and loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing flexible financial assistance, access to specialized equipment, and other resources that help families continue providing care at home.
• Southwest Colorado Cares: Our developing Community Care Hub brings healthcare providers and community organizations together through a coordinated referral system, connecting Southwest Colorado residents to health, housing, and social services while improving communication among care partners.
Together, these programs help people navigate complex systems of care, strengthen families, promote independence, and ensure that people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to thrive in their communities.
