Fostering Independence in a Family-Centric Environment

Golden Home Care is proud to offer the Adult Family Living (AFL) program, designed to support elderly individuals in Connecticut by integrating them into a welcoming family environment. This innovative care option allows seniors to receive personalized care while living in the home of a caregiver or having the caregiver move into their home, promoting comfort and familiarity.

Understanding Adult Family Living

The AFL program, also known as Caregiver Homes of Connecticut, is a community-based alternative to traditional assisted living or nursing home care. This program is ideal for elderly individuals who require assistance with daily activities but thrive best in a non-institutional setting.
For the Care Recipient:
  • Personalized care tailored to individual needs within a comforting, home-like setting.
  • Assistance with daily living activities including eating, bathing, dressing, and maintaining mobility.
  • Enhanced social interaction and community involvement which are crucial for emotional and mental well-being.
For the Caregiver:
  • A tax-free stipend compensated based on the level of care required, acknowledging the vital role of caregivers.
  • Regular support and training from authorized intermediary agencies to ensure quality care.
  • Resources and respite options to support the caregiver’s well-being and prevent burnout.

Eligibility and Enrollment

To participate in the AFL program, seniors must be Connecticut residents, typically over the age of 65, and need support with at least one activity of daily living. Both the care recipient and caregiver receive thorough assessments to ensure a good fit and proper care level determination under the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) or the Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Medicaid waiver programs.
