"Mom is getting stronger,
and it feels so good”
We brought in a couple of aides for my mother, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. Now I get to care for Mom daily — and she’s smiling and laughing. I feel really good, knowing she’s getting stronger each day.

“Best program ever”
I’ve had aides in the past, but it always ended badly. This is one of the best programs ever. I’m so happy that my niece is helping me.

"I’m gonna make 90"
I didn’t want an aide; I don’t get along well with strangers. My daughter knows me and loves me; she looks right past my attitude. With her as my aide, I think I’m gonna hit 90. You watch. I’m gonna be the first one in my family to make 90.

“A blessing”
I have multiple sclerosis. After my second hospitalization, I realized I needed help. To have my best friend be here for me is a blessing. My caseworker, Ashley, is very helpful — I feel comfortable calling anytime. And having someone I trust work for me keeps my mind at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Caring for a loved one in Connecticut? FreedomCare helps you understand your options — and how to get paid for the care you provide!

Yes, family members can be paid caregivers in Connecticut as long as they meet state requirements and live in the same home as the person receiving care. Legal spouses are not allowed to be paid caregivers, but other relatives — like adult children, siblings, or extended family — may qualify.
Yes, you can be a paid caregiver for your parent in Connecticut if you both live in the same home and your parent qualifies for Medicaid or a waiver program. FreedomCare will guide you through the process so you can care for your mom or dad with peace of mind, knowing you’ll be paid for the support you already provide.

In Connecticut, caregivers must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Be in good health and able to read and write
  • Not be excluded from the Medicaid program
  • Not be the legal spouse of the participant

Caregivers can be either a family member or a non-family member, as long as they live with the participant in a private home.

To become a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) for a loved one in Connecticut, your family member must first qualify for Medicaid or a waiver program. You must also live in the same home as the person you’re caring for. Once approved, FreedomCare will help you with the paperwork so you can start getting paid to care for them at home.
