Adult Family Living
The AFL Program allows eligible Connecticut residents to receive in-home care from a family member or friend who lives with them and the caregiver is compensated for their care.
Overview
The Adult Family Living (AFL) Program is one of Connecticut’s leading Medicaid home care programs, designed to help adults remain safely at home while receiving daily personal care and support. Through this program, individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living can receive care from a family member or close friend they live with—rather than moving into a nursing facility.
At Able Homecare Services, we specialize in guiding families through Connecticut’s Adult Family Living Program. We help caregivers understand eligibility, complete the application process, develop personalized care plans, and receive ongoing support while ensuring caregivers are compensated for the care they already provide.
Requirements:
- The care recipient must be a Connecticut resident
- The caregiver must live in the same home as the person receiving care.
- The individual receiving care is typically 65 years or older.
- The caregiver may be a family member or close friend, but cannot be the recipient’s legal spouse.
- The individual requires assistance with daily living activities, such as;
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Transfers
- Ambulation
- Eating
