Our mission is to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of our Canton residents of all ages by providing assistance with social, emotional and economic needs. 

Vision Statement:

Our vision is for residents to gain maximum independence through active community engagement and outreach.  We maintain an open and welcoming in-office atmosphere in order to reach and work with residents who find themselves in need.

If you have any essential needs that are not being met, please call our office at 860-693-5811 and we will do our best to assist you.

We encourage you to follow all guidelines to keep yourselves and your community healthy: wash your hands frequently and thoroughly; stay home when you are sick except to get medical care; clean and disinfect frequently-touched surfaces and objects; maintain a 3-6 foot distance from other people when out in public; and keep informed of current federal, state, and local guidelines from the CDC (cdc.gov), the Connecticut Department of Public Health (ct.gov/coronavirus), and the Farmington Valley Health District (www.fvhd.org).
