Yes, Medicaid does cover home care in Connecticut through the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE). This program is designed to provide home-based care services to individuals who are 65 years of age or older and are eligible for Medicaid.
The services provided under the CHCPE program may include personal care, nursing care, homemaking services, and adult day care services. Additionally, the program offers a range of home-based services such as personal emergency response systems, assistive technology, and transportation to medical appointments.
To be eligible for the CHCPE program, applicants must meet certain income and asset requirements, as well as medical eligibility criteria. The program also requires a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s needs and the development of a care plan tailored to their specific requirements.
If you or someone you know is interested in applying for the CHCPE program, you can contact the Connecticut Department of Social Services to learn more about the application process and eligibility requirements.
