Connecticut Respite Care Programs
Connecticut Statewide Respite Care Program (CSRCP) is specifically designed for individuals who have a verified doctor’s diagnosis of Dementia and are residing in the community being cared for by an informal caregiver. The caregiver does not need to be a relative or reside with the individual with Dementia. There is no age requirement for the caregiver or individual receiving the care. This program offers respite services up to $7,500.00 per grant year and is based on the individual’s needs and available funding. A cost-share contribution is requested (ADNA will handle the cost share payments.)
National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) is available to people who are providing care for an individual age 60+ and reside in the community. The caregiver does not need to be a relative or reside with the individual. A Caregiver can receive up to $3,500 in services per grant year based on the individual’s needs and available funding.

As these programs continue to grow and new opportunities develop in other states, ARIS Solutions continues its involvement with self-directed programs to provide participants and their families the Financial Management Services they need to continue care in their home. Taking the burden of tax filings and payroll processes off the participant allows them the time to self-direct individual care needs and provides the opportunity to focus on what matters the most to them.
The Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging (SWCAA) is the trusted source of advocacy, information, and access to care for older and vulnerable adults that provides resources to strengthen the regional aging network. The Agency supports family caregivers by providing temporary care and assistance for eligible persons designed to give caregivers a much needed rest. SWCAA is also an “Access Agency”, under contract with the State of Connecticut, Department of Social Services, to provide care management to Medicaid clients who prefer to receive home and community-based services rather than institutional care. SWCAA’s care managers are social service professionals who help assess and build a person-centered plan of care designed to help elders, persons with disabilities and persons with acquired brain injury.
The Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut (AOASCC) is an independent non-profit organization serving older adults, individuals with disabilities and caregivers in greater New Haven and the lower Valley. Our mission is to empower adults to remain as independent and engaged as possible within their communities through advocacy, information, and services.
