Connecticut's AFL Program
Yes! You Can Get Paid To Care For A Family Member Or Friend Right At Home!
Adult Family Living through Juniper Homecare is a program designed to help seniors in Connecticut ages 65 and older continue living in the comfort of their own home rather than having to moving into a facility like assisted living or a nursing home.
The program allows family members or friends to serve as the primary caregiver and receive weekly paychecks for the care they provide.
You don’t need to have any medical background or experience in this industry. You aren’t required to get licensed or go to school before becoming a paid family caregiver. So long as the individual you are caring for qualifies under title 19, you are all set.
This program began with the main intent to help seniors age in place. A study done by AARP in 2017 shows that 87% of seniors above the age of 65 want to stay in their own home. This was never possible before. As nursing homes have began to fill since 2013 this idea of aging in place has become a reality.
Over the last two years our company has been sharing information about this program. The reason I am writing this post today is due to the amount of people who are unaware there is financial help available. With that being said, here are some valuable tips on how to get started.
The Adult Family Living Program
What does it take to become a Paid Caregiver in Connecticut?
Who qualifies under the Adult Family Living Program in Connecticut?
The Connecticut Department of Social Services will determine if the recipients are eligible for the program. There are four different levels to assist with those needing any amount of care. In return, care providers receive compensation for their caregiving efforts. In the case of family members, caregivers are paid for work that they would have likely provided for free.
