Growing Concerns with Self-Directed Care Under the Connecticut ABI Waiver Program
The recent shift towards self-directed care for individuals on the Connecticut Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program has raised significant concerns within the community. This change, which coincides with GT Independence taking over subsidiary responsibilities from Allied, presents numerous challenges that could compromise the quality and consistency of care for individuals with brain injuries. While self-directed care offers the promise of increased autonomy and personalized services, it also introduces critical risks related to the quality, experience, and oversight of staffing. Moreover, it places an undue burden on individuals and their families, potentially leading to severe gaps in care.
