History
St. Louis Accord spurred development of coalition.

Founded January 2006 with first kick off meeting.

Supported by all CT LTC Stakeholders, including DPH.

Organizational Structure
The coalition's mission is to drive positive changes in LTC from institutional models of care to person-centered environments. The coalition's vision is to promote development of person-centered environments where individuals live, work and grow in nurturing, respectful communities that honor personal choice and diverse lifestyles. The coalition accomplishes this by supporting culture change through education, research, sharing, advocating and collaborative relationships.
