Home Care in East Hartford, CT
East Hartford sits just across the Connecticut River from Hartford, and shares a western border with Manchester — putting Careplus Home Care within minutes of every neighborhood in town. East Hartford has one of Hartford County's most established working-class communities: families who built careers at places like Pratt & Whitney and put down roots they intend to keep. When it comes time for home care, those families want an agency that understands their community, accepts their insurance, and shows up reliably — not a national call center transferring them from department to department.

East Hartford is a denser community than many of the surrounding towns, with a significant proportion of residents who qualify for Connecticut's Medicaid programs. Navigating Medicaid Waiver eligibility — what used to be called Title 19 long-term care assistance — can feel overwhelming when you are also managing a health crisis for someone you love. Careplus is a State Medicaid Provider, which means we work directly with the CT Department of Social Services on your behalf. We handle the DSS paperwork, confirm your loved one's eligibility, and coordinate the care plan so your family does not have to.
East Hartford's manufacturing heritage — anchored for generations by Pratt & Whitney and the broader aerospace industry — left behind families who worked hard, paid into the system for decades, and earned benefits they are entitled to use. We take that seriously. Whether your loved one qualifies for Medicaid Waiver services, has a union retiree health plan, or is paying privately, Careplus will help you understand the options before you commit to anything.
As a Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection licensed agency (CT DCP License HCA.0001825), Careplus meets the regulatory standards the state requires of every home care agency. Our caregivers serving East Hartford are fully screened, trained, bonded, and insured before they ever enter your loved one's home.

Their office can help families understand what municipal resources are available alongside professional home care — a useful first stop when you are mapping out a care plan.
For families who need help funding home care, the Connecticut Medicaid Waiver — sometimes still referred to as Title 19 home care — is a critical resource in East Hartford. The waiver allows income-qualifying residents to receive home-based personal care, homemaking, and companion services funded by Medicaid, keeping people out of nursing facilities and in the community where they want to be. Careplus is a State Medicaid Provider — we handle the CT DSS paperwork so you do not have to navigate the application alone.
The North Central Area Agency on Aging (NCAAA) also serves East Hartford residents, offering federally funded long-term care counseling, caregiver support services, and the CHOICES program — a free statewide service that connects older adults with an independent counselor who can explain all available care options, including Medicaid, Medicare, and private-pay home care, without any pressure or sales agenda.
