A New Vision for Senior Living: All Access with Andy Garcia Spotlights CT Community Care's Holistic Approach

HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As our population ages, questions about how to best support our loved ones and ourselves in maintaining independence and dignity become increasingly vital. A forthcoming segment of "All Access with Andy Garcia" will introduce Public Television audiences to CT Community Care, an organization at the forefront of providing comprehensive, person-centered solutions for long-term care at home and in the community.

Viewers can anticipate an informative and uplifting segment from "All Access with Andy Garcia," filmed in July of 2025, at CT Community Care's Bristol, CT office. This program will offer a compelling look at CT Community Care's unique approach to empowering older adults and individuals with disabilities. It will illuminate how they expertly guide families through intricate systems, ensuring access to tailored support that enhances overall quality of life, fosters social connection, and builds bridges for truly livable communities. Many people encounter the need for long-term care services but often feel lost in a maze of options.

This segment seeks to demystify that process, showing how professional guidance can lead to optimal well-being in the place of one's choice, particularly at home and within familiar surroundings. It will highlight the comprehensive array of services CT Community Care orchestrates, from coordinating appointments and securing vital resources to offering creative solutions that genuinely cater to individual preferences and needs.

"Too often, people don't discover care management until they're in crisis—overwhelmed and unsure where to turn," stated Julia Evans Starr, President of CT Community Care. "This feature shows that it doesn't have to be that way. We're here early, walking with individuals and families, assessing changing needs, and building a plan that brings stability, connection, and dignity at home. No one should have to face this journey alone or unprepared."

The segment will delve into CT Community Care's enduring legacy, tracing their origins from a bold vision in the late 1960s to their current status as a national thought leader. Viewers will learn how their independent care management model prioritizes individual needs and preferences, offering personalized support that can include everything from appointment coordination to creative community connections like pet therapy or spiritual counseling. This exploration will also address critical societal topics such as the often-overwhelming experience of family caregiving, the profound impact of social connection on health and well-being (especially after the isolation many experienced during the recent pandemic), and the importance of disrupting ageism and ableism to create more inclusive environments for everyone.

The program aims to inspire and inform a broad audience, particularly those navigating caregiving challenges or seeking innovative ways to thrive at home, by showcasing tangible support and a forward-thinking approach to well-being across the lifespan. It will underscore that with the right guidance, maintaining a fulfilling life in one's own community is not just a dream, but an achievable reality.
