Bill > HB06333

This bill aims to improve home-care services for senior citizens in Connecticut by requiring the Commissioner of Social Services to undertake several key actions. Specifically, the Commissioner must conduct a comprehensive study of the state's home-care programs, examining their administration, oversight, and outcomes. The bill also mandates compensation for family caregivers, including spouses, who provide personal care assistance services through the state-funded portion of Connecticut's home-care program for the elderly. Additionally, the Commissioner is tasked with collecting and reporting data on adult family living services and developing a marketing campaign to promote these services. The overall purpose of the bill is to enable more senior citizens to age in place at home, potentially reducing the state's expenses on institutional care by supporting family-based care solutions. By providing financial support and recognition for family caregivers and improving the visibility of home-care services, the bill seeks to create a more supportive and cost-effective approach to elder care in the state.
