After 40 years with Connecticut Community Care, the State’s leading long-term care management nonprofit organization, Molly Rees Gavin, President, today announced plans to retire. Concurrently, the CCC Board of Directors announced that, beginning August 3, Julia Evans Starr will succeed Gavin. As Executive Director of the Connecticut Commission on Aging, Julia and her Commissioners educated the General Assembly on a myriad of policy issues; one of the most recent of which was a nationally recognized “Livable Communities” initiative. Julia also has been instrumental in the development of numerous State Plans, the work of the Coalition for Elder Justice and MyPlaceCT.org.


For the past 40 years, we have improved the lives of thousands of individuals of all ages and abilities, helping them to achieve their dreams to live how and where they choose. We are Connecticut’s premier and largest care management organization and are dedicated to partnering with individuals, families and supporters so that all people may remain independent and living at home.
