Welcome

Welcome to the California Community Choices project website.  California Community Choices, an initiative of the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS), was formed in partnership with the California Institute on Human Services, the California Olmstead Advisory Committee, and other stakeholders.  In September 2006, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded CHHS a Real Choice Systems Change Grant to support the California Community Choices project.  An 18-member Advisory Committee comprised of consumers, advocates and providers representing persons with disabilities and older adults was established to advise CHHS on development of the project and to monitor project activities.   California Community Choices represents an important component of the State’s Olmstead efforts.

Introducing CalCareNet

We are pleased to present CalCareNet, all-in-one free consumer State of California website focused on long-term care services and supports in California.  

  CalCareNet is a key deliverable of the Community Choices Project to improve California's long-term service and supports infrastructure.  In it's first pilot phase, CalCareNet features local services in Orange and Riverside counties. It also provides statewide information about licensed care facilities and alcohol and drug programs and a wealth of education and tips to help everyone learn about long-term care. More
