We are located in Clallam County Washington on the rural Olympic Peninsula.
We are one of 16 community partnerships in the nation funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to address the care needs & preferences of our County’s older adults & their caregivers. The Partnership works closely with the foundation's National Program Office, Community Partnerships for Older Adults.
CARE is a collaboration of citizens, agencies, Tribal governments, & organizations working together to:
Provide easy access to information
Create a system of services that support the long term care needs of older adults & their caregivers
Create dynamic solutions to current & future challenges through community-based Coalitions
Advocate through a network of engaged citizens
Clallam County is well-known for its rural beauty & pioneer spirit. We, of late, have become known for the fact that more than 30% of our population is over the age of 60. We face health & service challenges that other counties throughout the nation will face in the coming years. Together, CARE is addressing those challenges today through our unique partnership & providing innovative solutions for tomorrow.
