Roberta Salley
"I’m gonna make 90"
I didn’t want an aide; I don’t get along well with strangers. My daughter knows me and loves me; she looks right past my attitude. With her as my aide, I think I’m gonna hit 90. You watch. I’m gonna be the first one in my family to make 90.
Dorothy Zuniga
"A blessing"
I have multiple sclerosis. After my second hospitalization, I realized I needed help. To have my best friend be here for me is a blessing. My caseworker, Ashley, is very helpful — I feel comfortable calling anytime. And having someone I trust work for me keeps my mind at ease.
Richard Branker
"Mom is getting stronger, and it feels so good”
We brought in a couple of aides for my mother, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. Now I get to care for Mom daily — and she’s smiling and laughing. I feel really good, knowing she’s getting stronger each day.
Patricia Charles
"Best program ever"
I’ve had aides in the past, but it always ended badly. This is one of the best programs ever. I’m so happy that my niece is helping me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Caring for a loved one in Connecticut? FreedomCare helps you understand your options — and how to get paid for the care you provide!
Yes, family members can be paid caregivers in Connecticut as long as they meet state requirements and live in the same home as the person receiving care. Legal spouses are not allowed to be paid caregivers, but other relatives — like adult children, siblings, or extended family — may qualify.
Yes, you can be a paid caregiver for your parent in Connecticut if you both live in the same home and your parent qualifies for Medicaid or a waiver program. FreedomCare will guide you through the process so you can care for your mom or dad with peace of mind, knowing you’ll be paid for the support you already provide.
In Connecticut, caregivers must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be in good health and able to read and write
