Your home. Your care. Your provider.

Care Connection provides people in Thurston and Mason Counties —primarily aged 60 and above, and adults with disabilities — with affordable, trusted and reliable assistance including: companionship, personal care support, dementia-specific needs, personal assistance, end of life care/hospice and more.

When you hire an Independent Provider through the Care Connection registry, you receive a qualified, skilled caregiver or housekeeper who works directly for and with you, not for a franchise or corporation. Independent Providers are carefully screened  to ensure you receive the safe support you or your loved one needs.

Care Connection is a private, non-profit, private-pay program of Senior Services for South Sound. Profits go directly back to helping seniors with our programs and services!

Referrals are provided to individuals and their families who may have needs other than in-home care, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, planning for long-term care, support for family caregivers and questions about other community resources.

“I've really appreciated being on the Care Connection's Caregiver Registry for over 20 years. I love being a caregiver for seniors and always refer folks who need a caregiver to Care Connection. It gives me peace of mind that if I'm ever not able to do my shift due to illness or emergency, Care Connection will do their best to provide a back-up provider.”

~Janine, Independent provider since 2001
