A Helpful Touch LLC

A Helpful Touch LLC is a homecare agency serving Shelton, Connecticut and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Connecticut, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Connecticut Department of Public Health and generally must maintain a Homemaker-Companion Agency License. Connecticut licenses Homemaker-Companion agencies that provide non-medical home care.

Payment Options: In Connecticut, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders, Personal Care Assistance Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Connecticut Department of Social Services or visit https://portal.ct.gov/DSS/Health-And-Home-Care/Connecticut-Home-Care-Program-for-Elders to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Connecticut Department of Public Health for more information about homecare services in Connecticut.
