Yes. Through Connecticut’s Adult Family Living (AFL) program, an eligible family member or friend living in the same household can be compensated for care they already provide. AFL is offered under the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) and the Personal Care Assistance (PCA) waiver. Our team can help you understand eligibility and walk you through the application process.

Once the person receiving care is approved for CHCPE or the PCA waiver, and caregiver onboarding (including background checks and required documentation) is complete, services can typically begin shortly after authorization. This applies whether care comes from our professional caregivers or from a family caregiver through AFL. Our team works to get care started as quickly as possible once everything is in place.

Yes. AFL isn't limited to relatives — a non-relative living in the same household as the client can also qualify as a paid caregiver, as long as they meet the program's residency and eligibility requirements.

Services depend on your assessment and approved care plan, and may include personal care (such as bathing, dressing, and grooming), medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and transportation to appointments, and companionship. Our team can help clarify exactly what’s included based on your specific care plan.
