Caring for a loved one is one of the most selfless and meaningful acts a person can do. But it can also be one of the most challenging—especially when you’re doing it alone. That’s why the Adult Family Living (AFL) Program is here to support caregivers across Connecticut.

What Is the AFL Program?

The Adult Family Living program is a state-funded caregiving support service that allows family members or friends to receive financial compensation for taking care of a loved one at home. This program is designed to make caregiving sustainable by providing both emotional and financial support to those who step into this vital role.

Who Is Eligible?

If you’re a Connecticut resident and you’re assisting a family member or friend with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or personal hygiene—and you live in the same home—you may be eligible. The person receiving care must also be eligible for Medicaid.

How the AFL Program Supports You

Caregiving shouldn’t mean giving up your own well-being. Through the AFL program:

  • You’ll be matched with an expert care team who will provide ongoing support, guidance, and case management.

  • You’ll receive monthly tax-free compensation for the care you provide.

  • Your loved one can stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by someone they know and trust.

This program helps ease the burden and stress that often come with caregiving, while ensuring your loved one gets the best possible care.

Why It Matters

Being a caregiver is more than just helping with daily tasks—it’s about preserving dignity, providing companionship, and offering security. The AFL program honors that work and gives caregivers the tools and support they need to continue making a difference in their loved one’s life.
