Alternate Care Unit - Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE)
This Web site explains the CT Home Care Program for Elders including who is eligible for the program, what services are available, how to apply for services, and how to contact the program.
To be eligible, applicants must be 65 years of age or older, be a CT resident, be at risk of nursing home placement and meet the program’s financial eligibility criteria.
