Benefits of the Connecticut Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Waiver

and Why The Supported Living Group is a Leading PCA Provider

The Connecticut Personal Care Assistance (PCA) Waiver helps eligible individuals with disabilities remain living independently in their homes and communities by providing access to personal care supports funded through Medicaid. This waiver is a vital alternative to institutional care and empowers individuals to maintain choice, dignity, and control over their daily lives.

Key Benefits of the CT PCA Waiver

The PCA Waiver offers a wide range of benefits designed to support independence and long-term community living, including:

  • Support with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and eating

  • Assistance with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication reminders

  • Increased independence and autonomy, allowing individuals to remain in their own homes

  • Flexibility in support delivery based on individualized needs and goals

  • Reduced reliance on nursing facilities or institutional settings

  • Improved quality of life through consistent, person-centered care

The PCA Waiver is especially beneficial for individuals with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, or acquired brain injuries who require hands-on support but wish to live in the community.
