National

A national program that provides a searchable, web-based directory of services, information, and resources for communities across the country.

In counties across the country, the Network of Care serves as an interactive, one-stop, community-based information hub on the web for a variety of health services information.

Nuts and Bolts:

• Created and maintained by Trilogy Integrated Resources LLC, a California company, the Network of Care Websites provides a community's residents with a searchable service directory for their area, an online library with comprehensive health and safety information, links to local, state and national resources, and even an online folder to store useful information for future visits.
• While Trilogy builds and maintains each Network of Care site, local officials are responsible for the content.
• There are currently Network of Care websites in over 20 states.
• The Network of Care covers topics such as Seniors and People with Disabilities, Mental/Behavioral Health, Children and Families, Developmental Disabilities, and Domestic Violence.

Successes:

• In California, there are Network of Care Websites in 53 counties throughout the state, all funded by a grant from the California Department of Aging.
• In San Diego, Aging and Independence Services (AIS) manages the content for the Network of Care site and is considered a leader for the quantity and quality of information that it provides through the Website. For example, AIS compiled a number of videos and documents on fall prevention that they added to their Network of Care Website which were so informative that they have since been added to every other Network of Care Website around the country.
