The State of Connecticut offers a variety of services to help eligible individuals who need support to live at home or to return to community living. Many of the programs are administered under a Medicaid ‘waiver,’ meaning that Connecticut has received federal approval to waive certain Medicaid requirements to meet the service needs of older adults and adults with disabilities in the community. These programs and services include:
- *Assisted Living
- *Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
- *Autism Spectrum Disorder
- *Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders
- *Katie Beckett Waiver
- *Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Waiver
We hope this website section about these home and community-based services will be helpful to you and your family. The Department of Social Services’ Division of Health Services administers Medicaid waiver and related services. Specifically, the DSS Community Options Unit (formerly the Alternate Care Unit) and the Money Follows the Person Unit are responsible for managing multiple waiver programs and related services in support of Connecticut citizens with disabilities of all ages.
