Our Connecticut service area
Accepting New Clients — Hartford County, CT
One of the most complete home care agencies in Hartford County, CT — headquartered right here in East Hartford. Trained, background-checked caregivers. RN and LPN skilled nursing. HUSKY (Connecticut Medicaid) programs. Flexible private pay. All under one roof, minutes from your door. Apply anyway. Getting on the list is the first step.
Two fields, that's it. A specialist from our East Hartford office calls you back, runs your free HUSKY eligibility review, and tells you exactly which program fits — CFC, PCA, AFL or private pay. Seven years in home care — there's no situation we haven't guided a family through.
Our Connecticut headquarters sits at 510 Tolland St, East Hartford — which means the team handling your care lives and works in your county. Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, Manchester, Enfield: our coordinators are minutes away, not a call center away. Dementia. Alzheimer's. Stroke recovery. Post-hospital support. Daily personal care. When needs turn clinical, our own RNs and LPNs step in — skilled nursing, infusion, respiratory and wound care at home. No one gets moved to a facility just to be looked after.
Most families don't know this: under HUSKY, the family member already giving care can get paid for it. A tax-free stipend through Adult Family Living (AFL). Hourly pay through Personal Care Assistance (PCA). We know these programs inside out. We check your eligibility free. We file every form. And because our office is in the county, assessments and check-ins are a short drive, not a scheduling battle. Prefer a professional? We match a trained, background-screened caregiver to your family. One call, every answer.
Serving Hartford, West Hartford, New Britain, East Hartford, Manchester, Enfield, Bristol, Glastonbury and every town across Hartford County — free eligibility review for all of them.
510 Tolland St, East Hartford. Faster assessments. In-person support when you want it. A team that knows your towns because we work in them. Other agencies serve Hartford County from far away. We serve it from inside.
Companion care, personal care, 24/7 live-in. RN/LPN skilled nursing. Every HUSKY program — CFC, PCA, AFL. Flexible private pay. One agency, one local team. Tell us your situation once. We hand you the right fit.
Under AFL and PCA, the adult child, sibling, friend or spouse already giving care gets hired and paid. AFL pays a tax-free stipend. We handle enrollment and payroll. You care. We do the rest.
Eligibility reviews and consultations are always free. We prepare and file every HUSKY form. We schedule the assessment. We stay on your case after care starts. Thirty years of doing this. Your only step is the first call.
HUSKY or private pay — either way you get a trained, background-screened caregiver and one local team, based right here in the county. Aides, skilled nursing and Medicaid expertise all under one roof. You're never bounced between agencies. Not sure which path is yours? Matching families to the right program is what we've done for seven years.
Told your loved one needs nursing-facility-level care? CFC often funds personal care, homemaking and skill-building at home instead. Ask us before any facility decision. Keeping people home is what we do.
For adults 18–64 with disabilities on HUSKY C. Hire, train and direct your own attendant — even a family member. Live independently at home. We confirm eligibility. We handle the hiring paperwork.
Get paid to care for a loved one 65+, in your home. The live-in family member or friend providing care gets a tax-free stipend. We run enrollment and payroll. Already the caregiver? Ask about this first.
Need care now? No eligibility wait. Hourly, respite, or 24/7 live-in. Companion care, personal care, medication reminders — on your schedule. Ask about flexible plans and extra free hours. We'll still run your free HUSKY check, in case a covered program fits. Either way, you're covered.
Not sure which fits? Tell us about your family — one minute, that's it. We'll walk you through every option you qualify for. Free review. Plain answers. Zero obligation. Seven years of doing exactly this.
