DURANGO, Colo. (May 1, 2018) – The San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging has launched the award-winning Network of Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities.

The Network of Care has evolved into a state-of-the-art solution for Aging & Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) with a comprehensive suite of features:

• The program has a Referral Application that is ADRC-compliant.

• It can easily generate reports and assist with individual care planning.

• Referrals can be automatically stored in the Personal Health Record.

• This platform is free to any AAA that has the Network of Care.

The Network of Care has been adopted by many counties across the nation and multiple states, such as New Mexico and Nebraska, have deployed the project statewide.

“The Network of Care is a big deal for our rural corner of the state, here in southwest Colorado,” said Christina Knoell, executive director of the San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging. “I can’t fully express how excited the stakeholders, partners and I are that we are finally getting the Network of Care to disseminate information and resources to our five-county area residents…We will be able to direct people to the services they need so they will be cared for. The online resource database the Network of Care offers will help our front-line staff empower people, so they stay independent and make informed choices. That is a pretty cool thing!”
