- Does the person receiving care live in Connecticut? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (65 or older)?
- What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.

- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
