Adult Family Living
Welcome to Adult Family Living
At Hartford Elderly Services, our Adult Family Living (AFL) program offers a compassionate, home-based care option for seniors who prefer to stay in a familiar environment rather than moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home. Our program provides both the elderly and their caregivers with the support they need to maintain a high quality of life.
What is Adult Family Living?
Adult Family Living is designed to allow seniors to live in the comfort of a family home while receiving personalized care. This program is particularly beneficial for those who wish to remain close to loved ones and avoid the impersonal atmosphere of a larger care facility. Seniors either move in with a family member or friend who acts as their primary caregiver, or the caregiver moves into the senior’s home. Our program ensures that caregivers receive financial compensation, extensive training, and ongoing support.
Key Benefits of Adult Family Living:
Personalized Care
Seniors receive individualized care from someone they trust, allowing them to maintain a sense of comfort and security in their daily lives. This setting helps reduce stress and promotes emotional well-being.
Financial Support
Caregivers receive regular, tax-free compensation for their efforts, making it easier for families to provide the necessary care without financial strain. This compensation is based on the level of care required by the senior, ensuring that caregivers are adequately supported.
Training & Support
Caregivers are not alone in this journey. Our program includes thorough training to equip them with the skills needed to care for their loved ones effectively. Additionally, we offer continuous support, including regular follow-ups and access to professional resources.
Flexible Living Arrangements
Whether the senior moves into the caregiver’s home or the caregiver moves in with the senior, our program is flexible enough to accommodate various living arrangements. This flexibility ensures that the needs of both the senior and the caregiver are met.
Eligibility for the Program:
To be eligible for the Adult Family Living program, the senior must be 65 years or older, reside in Connecticut, and be eligible for Medicaid under Title 19. They must also need help with daily living activities, which may include personal care, mobility assistance, and meal preparation.
