Did You Know? You Can Get Paid to Care for a Loved One at Home!
Caring for a loved one can be both fulfilling and demanding. If you are a Connecticut resident assisting a family member or friend aged 65+ with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or personal hygiene, you may qualify for Adult Family Living (AFL)—a state-funded caregiver program that provides up to $2,400 per month, tax-free in financial support.
At A Better Life Homecare, our mission is simple: “Supporting Families at Home.” We help families by enrolling eligible clients into the AFL program and ensuring that caregivers receive the financial support and resources they need.
What Is the Adult Family Living (AFL) Program?
The AFL program is designed to help seniors and individuals with disabilities age in place instead of moving into assisted living facilities or nursing homes. This program supports family caregivers by providing monthly compensation and professional case management to ensure the best care for their loved ones.
Who Qualifies for the AFL Program in Connecticut?
To be eligible for AFL, you must meet the following criteria:
- The care recipient must be 65 years or older or have a qualifying disability.
- The caregiver must be a family member or friend providing daily assistance.
- The care recipient must need help with essential activities like bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication reminders.
- The client and caregiver must reside in the same home to qualify.
Benefits of the AFL Program
For Care Recipients (Clients)
- Receive care at home from a trusted family member or friend
- Stay in a familiar, comfortable environment rather than a nursing home
- Receive assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene, dressing, and mobility
For Caregivers
- Earn up to $2,400/month tax-free for providing in-home care

How to Apply for the AFL Program
Applying for the AFL program is a simple process:
- Check Your Eligibility – Ensure the care recipient and caregiver meet program requirements.
- Submit an Application – Work with a state-approved provider to complete the necessary forms.
- Home Assessment – A professional will evaluate the home environment and care needs.
- Begin Receiving Benefits – Once approved, caregivers start receiving biweekly compensation.
Why Choose AFL Over Traditional Home Care?
Many families face the emotional and financial burden of caring for a loved one at home. Private home care services can be expensive, and placing a family member in a nursing facility may not be the best option.
With the AFL program, caregivers receive financial support while their loved ones remain in a safe, loving home environment—a win-win solution for both parties.
