Get Paid as a Family
Caregiver
in Connecticut
Caring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful things you can do - and in Connecticut, you may be eligible to get paid for it. Through state-funded programs and CaringPays guidance, you can receive financial support while providing the care your loved one deserves.
Get Paid Through Connecticut Waiver Programs
Connecticut offers several Medicaid waiver programs that help individuals receive care at home instead of in a nursing facility. These programs allow eligible family members and friends to be compensated for the care they provide, ensuring loved ones can stay safely and comfortably where they belong—at home.
Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE)
Supports seniors age 65 and older who are at risk of nursing home placement by offering home and community-based services—including the option for family or friends to be paid caregivers.
Personal Care Assistant (PCA) Waiver
Designed for adults with physical disabilities who want to live independently in their own homes. This program allows eligible participants to hire and pay family members or friends as caregivers.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver
Provides assistance to individuals with brain injuries, allowing them to live safely in the community while receiving care from trusted family members or friends.
