How Hartford Senior Advisor works

For most Capitol Region families, the whole path from first search to move-in takes about two weeks.

📝1

Tell us about your situation

A handful of questions — care level, budget, part of the Capitol Region, how soon you need to move. You stay anonymous until you're ready to share contact info.

🤝2

We hand-match 1–3 options

A local advisor reads through your answers and lines up verified Connecticut communities worth your time. One to three of them — never a pile of five to sort through yourself.

🏡3

Tour, decide, move in

We set up the tours, help you weigh the quotes — including what CHCPE or HUSKY C might cover — and stick with you through the paperwork and the move itself. Free the whole way.

"After my mother's fall, we needed answers fast. Our advisor found her a Managed Residential Community in West Hartford within days and walked us through exactly how the ALSA billed for care."

Diane R. — daughter of a West Hartford resident

"We compared communities between Farmington and Glastonbury before deciding. Nobody pressured us, and the CHCPE guidance saved us real money on my dad's care."

Common questions

What is a Managed Residential Community (MRC) and an ALSA?
Connecticut doesn't license "assisted living facilities" the way most states do. Instead, the Department of Public Health (DPH) licenses an Assisted Living Services Agency (ALSA) — a home-health-style agency — to deliver assisted-living services inside a residential setting called a Managed Residential Community (MRC). So "assisted living in Connecticut" means an ALSA operating within an MRC, governed by the CT Public Health Code, Sec. 19-13-D105.
How does the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) work?
CHCPE is a state program, run through the Department of Social Services, that helps eligible seniors pay for home and community-based long-term care — including some assisted-living services — so they can avoid or delay a nursing home. Eligibility depends on income, assets, and a documented level of need; a care manager completes an assessment.
What does senior care cost in the Hartford area?
Costs vary by town. Assisted living/MRC care in Greater Hartford commonly runs about $5,500–$7,500/month, memory care $7,000–$9,500/month, and Connecticut nursing home care is among the most expensive in the country, often $12,500–$16,000+/month. West Hartford and the Farmington Valley (Simsbury, Avon) tend to price higher; New Britain and East Hartford often run lower.
Does Medicaid pay for assisted living in Connecticut?
Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY C, for aged, blind, and disabled adults) is largely fee-for-service and generally does not cover MRC room & board. Some assisted-living services can be covered through Medicaid home-and-community-based waivers or state-funded assisted living programs for those who qualify. Our advisors help you understand which options apply.
What towns do you serve?
Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, New Britain, Bristol, Manchester, Newington, Wethersfield, Farmington, Glastonbury, Enfield, Bloomfield, Windsor, Simsbury, and Vernon — essentially Hartford County and the Capitol Region, plus Tolland County's Vernon.
Can the Area Agency on Aging or VA benefits help?
The North Central Area Agency on Aging (NCAAA) and 2-1-1 Connecticut are good starting points for information and referral, and CHOICES offers free Medicare counseling. Veterans can reach VA Connecticut Healthcare System's Newington campus for benefits guidance, including Aid & Attendance.
