Aging and Disability Resource Centers are a helpful place to get information. They connect older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers in Connecticut to the services they need.

Our staff can help you with simple questions, like finding a phone number, or give detailed information about community services. Some of the things we do include:

  • Checking what benefits you may qualify for
  • Giving advice about your care options
  • Helping with care transitions

Eligibility

  • Relationship: spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, non relative

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in Connecticut? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Does your relationship to the person (spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative) count for this program?
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
