Community Access to Resources and Education (CARE) Guide
The CARE Guide summarizes local resources by service type and aligns with the existing web-based Network of Care Service Directory, which was developed by the Barnstable County Department of Human Services. The online directory offers a comprehensive database of local health and human services for individuals, families, and agencies on Cape Cod, and includes resources on aging, mental health, crisis services, disability, disease prevention and treatment, emergency planning, housing and homelessness, substance use, and basic needs.
The Care Line is for anyone who needs extra assistance navigating the CARE Guide, Network of Care, Service Directory, or other online resources via telephone. Callers to the CARE line will be prompted to leave a voicemail describing their question or need. The voicemail will be monitored by our Public Health Resource Coordinators. Voicemail messages will be answered within 24 hours, Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Messages left on weekends and holidays will be addressed on the next business day.
Call the CARE Line at (774) 330-3001
