Municipal Agent Notes

By John Sullivan

A Homecare Program for Elders

This program may help you to continue living at home

instead of going to a nursing home. It is state and fed-

erally funded and administered by the Connecticut De-

partment of Social Services. Under the program, your

needs are reviewed to determine whether you can re-

main in your home with help from home care services.

You may qualify for the program if you are: A Con-

necticut resident 65 or older, you meet the program’s

income and asset guidelines financial criteria and/or

you are at risk of nursing home placement, and you

meet the programs income and asset guidelines. A care

manager will determine whether you qualify. If you

qualify, the program can offer you help with household

activities like cleaning, cooking and other chores as

well as visiting nurses or home health aides. Clients in

the higher income ranges may be required to contribute

toward the cost of their care. You may enroll in the

program either by

1. Phoning 1-800-445-5394 to start the health screen-

ing process or

2. If you apply to a nursing home, or you are currently

a resident of a nursing home, or you are in the hos-

pital they will provide you with a home care request

form. Also, they will help you complete the form

to help and determine if you qualify before you call

the above number.

For more information on this program, Contact: CT

Department of Social Service, Alternative Care Unit,

11th floor, 25 Sigourney Street, Hartford CT 06106

Best Regards, John
